Stuck at a Green Light
 
Stuck at a green light, fifteen cars in a row
Nobody moving, nobody trying to go
I'm in the back here, stuck in a Chevrolet
Trying to see round the semi in my way
Is it an accident? Maybe construction?
Did somebody stall there and cause an obstruction?
Whatever the reason
I gotta get moving on somehow
But I'm stuck at a green light for now

Stuck at a green light, gonna be late for work
Not that it matters -- the boss is a jerk
Been there forever, put in the overtime
Doing the right things, staying right in line
Never get noticed or get a promotion
Never rewarded for all my devotion
I don't see a reason
Why I'm not further ahead somehow
I'm just stuck at a green light for now

Come on, let's go, let's go, today
Got places to be and I don't want to stay

Stuck at a green light, watching the kids go by
Headed to school now, walking side by side
Someday we'll have one, someday we'll have our own
That's what she tells me, but frankly I don't know
'Cause God knows we've tried to, we've done all we can
But maybe a baby just ain't in the plan
I don't see a reason
Why I can't take that road somehow
I'm just stuck at a green light for now

And when that light turns red
Gonna wish I took another way instead
I'm stuck at a green light
Stuck at a green light, Lord
I'm stuck at a green light for now
