Lyrics

Six forty-five and I'm not moving
Brake lights glowing like a red parade
Coffee's cold and the radio's losing
Everybody's honking, nobody's late

Guy in the van is drumming his wheel
Lady in the sedan is singing out loud
Nobody here is pretending to feel
Anything less than part of a crowd

We're the gridlock choir, windows down
Screaming at the sky in the slow-moving town
Bumper to bumper, one big sound
We're the gridlock choir, turn it up loud

Truck driver waves and I wave back
Strangers in a jam with the same bad day
Somebody's blasting a three-chord track
And the whole lane's singing along anyway

We're the gridlock choir, windows down
Screaming at the sky in the slow-moving town
Bumper to bumper, one big sound
We're the gridlock choir, turn it up loud

Hey! Hey! Nobody's going anywhere
Hey! Hey! So we might as well be there
Hands on the wheel and hands in the air

We're the gridlock choir, windows down
Screaming at the sky in the slow-moving town
Bumper to bumper, one big sound
We're the gridlock choir, turn it up loud

Turn it up loud
Turn it up loud
We're the gridlock choir
