I'm in no hurry, got nowhere I need to go Till someone gets in front of me and starts driving way too slow I yell through the windshield like that dumbass oughta hear With the windows rolled up tight and nobody else near
We call ourselves Detroiters—traffic never caused us fear But one slow car on Euclid and we're ready for a beer We're too damn belligerent to take the bridge for free We'd rather pay the toll—that's how it's gonna be
Now that I'm old and cranky, everything pisses me off I swear about the traffic and complain about my cough I've got nowhere I must be and all goddamn day to spare Now that I'm old and cranky, I'd rather just bitch and swear
If five folks are grocery shopping, then it's too damn busy We try to buzz around them until we're freakin' dizzy No restaurant can make a meal that we consider right But we don't wanna cook, so we suck it up each night
Amazon leaves a giant box that blocks the whole front door Inside's another giant box, which pisses us off more The damn thing won't fit in the bin, so we drag it through the yard Then burn it piece by piece because recycling is hard
Now that I'm old and cranky, everything just pisses me off I swear about the traffic and complain about my cough I've got nowhere I must be and all goddamn day to spare Now that I'm old and cranky, I'd rather just bitch and swear
Those idiots fly down our road like they own the whole damn street They're gonna run us over if we ever use our feet We watch them from the window and complain how fast they drive If we ever take that walk, we'll be lucky to survive
The guy across the river blew his leaves most every night So we bitched about him online till he messaged me to fight He said my post upset him—I felt bad about the flak But the damn leaf blower's quiet now, so I ain't taking it back
We go to more damn funerals than concerts every year But they've got food and friends—and sometimes they serve beer We put on our cleanest dirty shirt and mingle with the crowd Funerals are our party life—we just can't laugh too loud
Now that I'm old and cranky, everything just pisses me off I swear about the traffic and complain about my cough I've got nowhere I must be and all goddamn day to spare Now that I'm old and cranky, I'd rather just bitch and swear
Yeah, now that I'm old and cranky, I'll complain until I'm gone And if you don't like hearing it—get the hell off of my lawn
