Left Lane Queen

Oh, back about a year ago, Holly and I started collaborating on some lyrics that were all about drivin' fast, drinkin' shots of JD and generally raisin' some hell. Well, the other day, in a fit of road rage, I completed a couple more verses. Herewith...the finished masterpiece! Can't wait to demo this one.

Piece O' Work
by Holly Olinger and Lisa Torch

I'll have a hissy fit if I don't get my way
And I'm rarely seen by the light of day
I drink JD and I can scream and yell
And yep, I'm bound to kiss and tell

I'm quick to a temper
I'm the Left Lane Queen
I'm a real piece o' work, if you know what I mean

My baby likes me just the way that I am
But wouldn't be surprised if I bolted and ran
Well I sure ain't easy and I ain't no prize
Got nothin to prove, I don't need alibis

I'm quick to a temper
I'm the Left Lane Queen
I'm a real piece o' work, if you know what I mean

It's my way or the highway
I like my control
And nothin tastes better than grillin' on charcoal
Got beers in the cooler, Jack in the back
Shooters all around and then I'm on the attack

I'm quick to a temper
I'm the Left Lane Queen
I'm a real piece o' work, if you know what I mean

Oh I can be sweet
A real angel from heaven
Once I get what I want and it's a quarter past eleven
I'm better at midnight - at one AM I'm a dream
But when you cut off my tab I just might get mean

Speed limit says 60
and I'm doin 95
With my radar detector
It's good to be alive

I'm quick to a temper
I'm the Left Lane Queen
I'm a real piece o' work, if you know what I mean

I hear it on the radio already, playin' loud, windows down and going just bit too fast on a two lane country road!
(Make my shots tequila!)
