[Verse 1]
Three in the morning and I gotta be someplace
I don't remember where
Friends try to make me stay or call me a cab home
I grab my keys and a beer

[Pre-Chorus]
Cops, they took my licence away
Got my car out of impound today
I've been drunk since last Saturday
You'd better stay out of my way

[Chorus]
I drink and drive
Feel so alive
I'll never take that dive
Feel so alive
Doin' 95
I drink and drive
Feel so alive
I drink and drive

[Verse 2]
Early in the morning and the freeway's deserted
Like it's all mine
I'm trying to set a new drunken speed record
But I can't drive a straight line
Flashing lights split the night
I'm tossing bottles as I swerve to the right
Now I've slammed my face into the back of a big rig
At least you'll never catch me, you fucking pigs!
Designate someone other than me
Im so drunk I can hardly see
Another shot of Jäger and I turn the key
I've got so many places to be

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
When I'm on a binge, my friends all cringe
They won't drive at night
Cause way down on the freeway it's such a fright
But I think I drive alright

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

The Offspring

The Offspring is an American punk rock band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1984. The current line-up of the band Brian Keith “Dexter” Holland (vocals, guitar), Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman (lead guitar), Greg “Greg K.” Kriesel (bass), and Pete Parada (drums).

The Offspring is currently one of the biggest punk rock acts, along with the likes of Green Day, Rancid, and Sublime, all of which come from California. The Offspring and other groups are credited for reviving main-stream punk rock, though it isn’t as popular as it was in the ‘80s.
