Runnin' down the interstate
Coffee drippin' down my leg
Everyday I'm runnin' late
Gettn'slapped around by the hands of time
Next lane there's a pickup
A girl puttn' on her makeup
Her cellular phone's startin' to break up
She's gettn' slapped around by the hands of time
Everybody's runnin' a little late like me
The whole worlds runnin' behind
We can't seem to get where we need to be
Gettn' slapped around by the hands of time
Here comes a carpool
Mama's got her hands full
Six kids all late for school
They're gettn' slapped around by the hands of time
Just passed the Governor's motorcade
Musta had a flat tire on the way
I guess everybody'e gotta wait
When you're slapped around by the hands of time
