Here's the lyrics to the sixth of the latest round of Guess Ten songs. The lyrics we asked you to guess about are shown this way within the body of the song lyric.

Reckless Driver

You wonder why you drive me crazy
You don't watch the road signs baby
You never learned to stop at the light
You wonder why I get so uptight
The way you drive your automobile
You're the most dangerous thing on wheels
The way those wheels burn up the road
It's a wonder that they don't explode

[Chorus:]
Babe you're a reckless driver
Bound to be buried with your pride
And I'll be the sole survivor
Cause on the day you take your final ride
I won't be there by your side

Come rain, come hail, come sleet, come snow
You don't like to drive too slow
You're always in the passing lane
It's enough to drive me out of my brain
And so I wanna tell you right now
If you don't get some sense somehow
Those wheels will get you nowhere fast

And your next ride may be your last

Chorus

Those mountain roads are narrow & steep
But you like to drive them in your sleep
The hand on the meter gets hot & sweaty
Sayin 85 & risin steady
Now some damn fool he's tryin to pass
But you're so cool you step on the gas
Now I must say babe you got nerve
Doin 99 around that curve

Chorus

From the album Eden Alley by Timbuk3

This band originally consisted of a husband and wife team using a drum machine as their rhythm section. I'm quite surprised that I didn't hear from The Left on this one, as these artists seem to have been very active in the Austin, TX music scene since the eighties (and apparently Barbara Kooyman is still stirring things up on The Left's home turf - Texamericana sounds like a very good, artist driven entertainment outlet that will hopefully stay in the black long enough to be a force for good in our time).
