Backseat Driver Lyrics

death race '89, tried so hard to die burn the corners, run the light flipping off cops, start some fights (chorus) how...did i...get on this crazy ride? the engines scream, run the red maybe i'd be better off dead kiss the mantle, you're gonna hit the floor smash the window and break the door going nuts, going mad breaking laws, i'm never sad having fun, far and near running hot, filled with fear how...do i...get off this crazy ride? johnny's first d.u.i. his insurance rates will sky we're so lucky no one was killed but daddy even sports the bill back on the road! how...do i...get off this crazy ride? check point number five analyze your eyes could be the end you see my license, my life... my license, my life and me 'cuz i'm a backseat driver could you please step away from the vehicle?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
