You jump in front of my car when you,
you know all the time that
Ninty miles an hour, girl, is the speed I drive
You tell me it's alright, you don't mind a little pain
You say you just want me to take you for a ride

You're just like crosstown traffic
So hard to get through to you
Crosstown traffic
I don't need to run over you
Crosstown traffic
All you do is slow me down
And I'm tryin' to get on the other side of town

I'm not the only soul who's accused of hit and run
Tire tracks all across your back
I can see you had your fun
But darlin' can't you see my signals turn from green to red
And with you I can see a traffic jam straight up ahead

You're just like crosstown traffic
So hard to get through to you
Crosstown traffic
I don't need to run over you
Crosstown traffic
All you do is slow me down
And I got better things on the other side of town
Yeah! yeah!
Crosstown traffic
Look out
Look out baby
Coming through
Crosstown traffic
Yeah! look out crosstown traffic yeah look out
Look out look out baby crosstown traffic
Yeah, look out
What's that in the street?
Crosstown traffic
Yeah, look out
Crosstown traffic
Yeah look out

Jimi Hendrix
