Freeway Shooters Beware<\/p>\n
A typical day for me and you.
\nDucking bullets as they fly through.
\nTake a drive on the freeway.
\nAlways go armed. It might be today.
\nSomeone will shoot at you.
\nBut, mama didn\u2019t raise a fool.
\nYou are ready, armed to the teeth.
\nYour James Bond car is oh, so sweet.
\nLine them up and fire away.
\nThis is how they want to play.
\nRip them every way but loose.
\nFire some rounds up their caboose.
\nSelf defense is the name of the game.
\nSorry, I didn\u2019t get your name.
\nBut, I sure as hell got your number.
\nYour car will need a plumber.
\nIt is full of leeks and holes.
\nLooks like a soaker garden hose.
\nThink twice about who you shoot at.
\nThey may be ready to come to bat.
\nThey will knock a homer with your head.
\nToday, you should have stayed in bed.<\/p>\n
