Amos Carter - Rubber Neckers

 The latest from Amos Carter and his crew, a simple little song about rubber neckers. You know, thepeople who insist on holding up traffic of one kind or another to gawk at an accident or something else. Admittedly they can be not only annoying, but a danger in themselves. But as Amos warns us all in the song, we all got rubber necker behavior in us. Be aware! Don't become one yourself! 

Yeah yer bound to see 'em out on the road
In a car, or a truck haulin' grain 
Whatever you see out on the street 
Could have one drivin', what a pain! 
 
 Somethin' out of the corner their eye 
Derails their attention on the road 
Could be a gopher, could be a wreck 
Hitch hiker or a busted commode 
 
The rubber neckers, traffic breakers! 
What the hell is so dang important? 
It's a risky behavior on the road 
Get some better safety deportment! 
 
 Other day a man riding' a bike 
Wearin' speedos, lights on his spokes 
In front of me, shakin' and weavin' 
I thought he was havin' a stroke! 
 
 He was rubber neckin' like crazy 
Thought was gonna untwist his fool head 
It's contagious, you'll do it too 
You'll turn into a danger instead! 
 
The rubber neckers, traffic breakers! 
What the hell is so dang important?
 It's a risky behavior on the road 
Get some better safety deportment! 
 
It's true, I know from experience 
Human beings nosey by nature 
There's a rubber necker inside you 
Were made that way by the creator 
 
But ya gotta learn to stifle it 
Rubber neckin' can be a habit 
Look at anything but what ya should 
Whether it's a shoe or a rabbit! 
 
 The rubber neckers, traffic breakers! 
What the hell is so dang important? 
It's a risky behavior on the road 
Get some better safety deportment! 
 
 It's true, I know from experience

Look at anything but what ya should 
Whether it's a shoe or a rabbit! 
 
The rubber neckers, traffic breakers! 
What the hell is so dang important?
 It's a risky behavior on the road 
Get some better safety deportment! 
 
 Rubber neckers! Traffic breakers! 
Don't become one yerself!
