Freeway Lyrics
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
The road to Orange County leaves an awful lot of leeway
Where everyone's a doctor or a specialist in retail
They'll sell you all the speed you want if you can take the blackmail
You know it
I know it
Why don't you
Just show it?
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
You got a lot of money, but you cannot keep your bills paid
The sacrifice is worth it just to hang around the arcade
You found yourself a prophet, but you left him on the boardwalk
Another chocolate Easter bunny, hollowed out by your talk
You know it
I know it
Why don't you
Just show it?
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
And everything I do is wrong
But at least I'm hanging on
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
You got a lot of money, but you
Can't afford
You got a lot of money, but you
Can't afford
The road to Orange County leaves an awful lot of leeway
Where everyone's a doctor or a specialist in retail
They'll sell you all the speed you want if you can take the blackmail
I know it
Why don't you
Just show it?
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
The sacrifice is worth it just to hang around the arcade
You found yourself a prophet, but you left him on the boardwalk
Another chocolate Easter bunny, hollowed out by your talk
I know it
Why don't you
Just show it?
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
But at least I'm hanging on
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
You got a lot of money, but you can't afford the freeway
You got a lot of money, but you
Can't afford
You got a lot of money, but you
Can't afford

No, it's about speed addiction. Pay attention.
Aimee Mann is addictive ! her music is so necessary to me !
I love this song, it's incredibly catchy! I always thought the line was "hollowed out by your tongue" though.
According to the powers that be at aimeemann.com, it's "your talk" -- which formes a double end rhyme with "boardwalk."
I have no idea how that "e" snuck in.
Hehe, yeah I figured as much, it rhymes much better. Great tune!
i really want to know wut this song means. i am very curious..
never thought about speed addiction being part of my interpretation...hmm food for thought..
This song is obviously about Sean Penn being late to Easter Dinner. I don't get how no one else sees that.
This song is about a guy who can talk it up but cannot back it up. So you got all this money but you cannot get on the freeway because you actually don’t have all this money??? It is about liars. Hits home for me because I used to talk it up pretty bad to impress women. Yes I was one of these guys...until I was humbled by someone like this.
