Backseat Driver

7:30 in the morning in a Mickey D's drive-through Two muffins, one coffee, and a little bitty orange juice I saw a man with a sign on the corner I rolled my window down, handed him a dollar That's when I heard her ask "Hey, daddy, who was that?" And before I could answer back She said "Daddy, look, there's a plane in the sky Are we there yet? Did you just see that dog run by? Do squirrels have houses in the trees? Why'd God put stingers on honeybees?" It's crazy, all the things she sees on the side of the road Out of that window beside her, I wish I could be more like her My little dangling feet, pretty in pink, backseat driver Later on that day, on the highway back home I saw a lady in a black Mercedes yelling at her phone She flew by me with her finger in the air And I had to act like I didn't care And that's when I heard her ask "Daddy, why was she so mad?" Before I could answer back She said "Daddy, can you please turn up the radio? Hey, what are you pushing with your feet that makes us go? Do squirrels have houses in the trees? Why'd God put stingers on honeybees?" It's crazy, all the things she sees on the side of the road Out of that window beside her, I wish I could be more like her My little dangling feet, pretty in pink, backseat driver One day, I'll look back and I'll miss when My whole world wasn't over that dash It was back there buckled in Saying, "Daddy, look, there's a plane in the sky" Are we there yet? Did you just see that dog run by? Do squirrels have houses in the trees? Why would God put a stinger on a honeybee? It's crazy, all the things she sees on the side of the road Out of that window beside her, I wish I could be more like her My little dangling feet, pretty in pink, backseat driver Hmm, my backseat driver 7:30 in the morning in a Mickey D's drive-through Two muffins, one coffee, and a little bitty orange juice
