Blinded by headlights,
Lit up by the blue
Tint of the xenons in the night
Blinded by headlights,
Flipped on by a huge
Ford Expedition on the right
Blinded by headlights,
Left on by the loser
In the Bimmer just behind

Madcap dumber bummers,
Soccer moms in Hummers with their teenage kids and aunt
And the trucks flinging muck as they head off to the dump weaving all this way and that
Pass a boulder on the shoulder, see it kinda molder,
In traffic as the rain falls
And the black ice and puddles, muddled, befuddled,
Watch me hydroplane into the wall
(Watch me hydroplane into the wall)

"Cause I was...
Blinded by headlights,
flipped up by a coupe
that tried to pass me on the right
Blinded by headlights,
Intense xenon blues
A brand-new Acura behind
Blinded by headlights,
BMW,
A 745Li
Blinded by headlights,
Just out for a cruise,
But please, adjust the dumb things right

Some cellular chatter with her meaningless banter
told me to stick it up mine
She said, "A word to you, sonny, I'll drive MY way,"
(She can't keep her car in the lines)
Some ragtop rich fop was checkin' for a highway cop to see if it was safe to speed
And little Jimmy Farrow lost control of his Camaro and launched the car off into the weeds
(Launched the car off into the weeds)

"Cause he was...
Blinded by headlights, That lavender hue
Was causing pain to both his eyes
Blinded by headlights

He spun out but he got back on alright
He's gonna make it home tonight
He's gonna make it home tonight

[traffic noises sound through instrumental]

But mama, that's where the truck is
But mama, that's where the truck is
Mama always told me not to look into the oncoming lanes
But mama, that's where the truck is!

[more traffic sounds]

Some cocky and talky ol' throttle jockey fan of "Rocky" redneck from the Heights
Collided with a lady's one-hundred-grand Mercedes
Equipped with those blue xenon lights
And some cell-phone monotone was sittin' at the corner,
hoping the light would turn green
In his two-tone Scorpio, while messin' with his radio,
the light turned and he didn't see.
(Holding up half the traffic in town)

Then he was...
Blinded by headlights,
Flipped off by some dude
Who had been waiting to turn right
Blinded by headlights,
Ford truck (SuperCrew),
About eleven feet in height
Blinded by headlights,
A hot-rodded "Deuce"
"32 highboy hugs the line
Blinded by headlights,
A black "62
Chevy Impala on the rise
Blinded by headlights,
Buick Rendezvous,
A businessman late for his flight
Blinded by headlights,
A red MR2,
That thing was flying like a kite
Blinded by headlights,
A green Saturn Vue,
A couple going out tonight
Blinded by headlights,
Corvette coming through
Police pursuing just behind
Blinded by headlights,
This time red and blue,
The cops going a hundred nine
(Blinded by headlights)

Madman thumper dumpers, Smokey's on your bumper in his old Dodge Diplomat
And the chumps kind of jump as they hit a nasty bump in their Buick Wildcat
Feeling bolder as it's colder, wond'ring if I oughta,
I put the gas pedal down
Passed a beige-colored Prius, prayin' to Jesus,
That she'll find her way back into town

Now Scott tried to slingshot right past an undercover cop and rolled it over, broke his hand
And some bloodshot drunk they caught at twice the legal limit thought "want moonshine?"
[and] pulled down his pants
My gearhead employer and her husband, a lawyer, told me I gotta get brakes
She said "I'll help you out sonny, you've done it wrong"

It slows down, but I'm gonna need tires
I've gotta make it home tonight
