Slow Traffic Blues

Brake lights glow like tired hearts

Every stop’s a false restart

Radio laughs at my delay

Time leans back and slips away

Rushing never gets me far

Slow traffic blues tonight

Nothing moves but thoughts collide

Every pause feels overused

In these slow traffic blues

Hands on wheel, mind on rewind

Old mistakes stand in line

Horn complains but I just grin

This jam feels like I’m in

If life stalls in red and white

I’ll wait it out

Slow traffic blues tonight

Nothing moves but thoughts collide

Every pause feels overused

In these slow traffic blues

Slow traffic blues don’t lie

They teach me how to bide

Time don’t lose, it only moves

In these slow traffic blues

Mm… roll on
