Traffic Love
On air with Marcie Mustang
“Up next, Big Back Betty brings us Traffic Love. It's the touching story of a man who fell in love with orange barrels, uneven pavement, and a job that communicates exclusively through inconvenience. Dedicated to some guy named Melbazar.”

Traffic Love lyrics
Spoken Intro
Mmm...
People ask me why I keep coming back...
After all the screaming...
The abuse...
The impossible demands...
Baby...
If you gotta ask...
You'll never understand.
Verse 1
She starts calling me before the sun comes up
Demanding my attention before I've had coffee in my cup
She's loud...
She's impatient...
She's never satisfied
And every day she finds a brand new way
To tell me I'm doing it wrong
Lord, I love that job.
Pre-Chorus
Everybody tells me I should walk away
Says nobody deserves this kind of treatment
But every morning...
There I am again
Smiling like a fool
Chorus
I love the yelling
I love the pressure
I love being blamed for things
That happened three days before I got here
I love the chaos
I love the madness
I love hearing
"WHO DID THIS?!"
Before I've even punched in
Verse 2
Sometimes she sends complete strangers
To tell me how my job should be done
They roll down their windows
They point at things
They got opinions
Baby...
Everybody's got opinions
And somehow...
I'm still attracted to that job
Pre-Chorus
My friends think I'm crazy
My family thinks I'm confused
But they don't know what it's like
To have fifty people angry at you
Chorus
I love the yelling
I love the pressure
I love the traffic backed up
Halfway to the city limits
I love the chaos
I love the madness
I love watching people read signs
And then completely ignore them
Bridge
Some men fall in love with blue eyes
Some men fall in love with sweet smiles
Me.
I fell in love with orange cones
Reflective vests
Temporary lane closures
And a supervisor screaming my name
Big Reveal
Oh baby...
I'm not talking about a woman
I'm talking about construction
Road work
Traffic control
Dust
Noise
And seventeen different people
Telling me how to do my job
Final Chorus
And I love the yelling
I love the pressure
I love the rain
Showing up five minutes after setup
I love the chaos
I love the madness
I love every miserable minute
Because when the day's done
And everybody goes home
She's still standing there
Waiting for me tomorrow
And baby...
That's love.
