I Can't Drive 55
One foot on the brake and one on the gas
Well there's too much traffic and I can't pass No
So I try my best illegal move
A big black-and-white come an' touch my groove again
CHORUS:
Go on and write me up for 125
Post my face Wanted dead or alive
Take my license and all that jive I can't drive 55
Oh No Huh
So I sign my name on number 24 Hey
And the judge said Boy Just one more Huh
I'm gonna throw your ass in the city joint
Looked me in the eye Said You get my point I say yeah Oh yeah
CHORUS:
Go on and write me up for 125
Post my face Wanted dead or alive
Take my license and all that jive I can't drive 55
Oh yeah I CAN'T DRIVE 55 I CAN'T DRIVE 55
I CAN'T DRIVE 55 I CAN'T DRIVE 55
When I drive that slow It's hard to steer
And I can't take my car outta second gear
What used to take 2 hours Now takes all day Huh
It took me 16 hours to get to L.A.
CHORUS:
Go on and write me up for 125
Post my face Wanted dead or alive
Take my license and all that jive I can't drive 55
No No No I can't drive I CAN'T DRIVE 55
I can't drive I CAN'T DRIVE 55 I CAN'T DRIVE 55

I remember when this came out and it was an instant love for the song and Sammy as an artist. Now anytime there's a road trip it's a must to play while driving....THANKS SAMMY for all the years of great tunes
This song came out when I was 18, drove my little red car jamming to this entire album (casste tape) LMAO! Still to this day, I can't drive 55! My mom was from Long Beach and met my dad (a navy officer) moved to cincinnati, had kids. You know the story. She died when I was 15. After that I always dreamed of going back to California, in a sports car driving down A1A with Sammy. It was a way to deal, I delt, am successful and still love the tunes!
cant drive 55 is my favorite song, it is my theme song too. im 14 and i know that Sammy has played for montrose,Van Halen,Hagar,The Wabos,The Waboritas, and Chicken Foot. Wooooooo went to concho Oklahoma concert.
