From the recording Mid-Life Angst
More parental bliss...the opportunity to drive our children all over hell and back just because. School, camp, doctors, dentists...it's an endless string of tasks that bring on the parental chauffeur blues. This is kind of an Iggy Popish alternative rocker with Stacia's help on lead vocals and the kids doing backup ("Hey, mama mama!).
Lyrics
Carpoolin’, why’s their school so far away?
Carpoolin’, I’m driving this crew everyday
Carpoolin’, To school or sports or summer play
Drivin’ to the school again
It’s the same thing every day
Could we go another way?
It doesn’t matter if I’ve got a meeting
A project due or my team is in the playoffs
We’ve had our fun and now we’ve got to pay our dues
Parental chauffeur blues
Carpoolin’, to choir way across the bay
Carpoolin’, I should be working more today
Carpoolin’, there’s got to be another way
Carpoolin’, the bus sounds better every day
Doctors and optometrists
Dentists and orthodontists
There’s another meeting missed
Carpoolin’, why’s their school so far away?
Carpoolin’, These kids get louder every day
Carpoolin’, Get that truck out of my way
Carpoolin’, Red lights waste my life away
Drivin’ to the school again
It’s the same thing every day
Could we go another way?
Carpoolin’
