LYRICS
Traffic Jam by James Taylor
Damn this traffic jam,
How I hate to be late,
It hurts my motor to go so slow.
Damn this traffic jam,
Time I get home my supper'll be cold,
Damn this traffic jam.
Well I left my job
About five o'clock,
It took fifteen minutes
To go three blocks,
Just in time
To stand in line
With a freeway looking
Like a parking lot.
Damn this traffic jam,
How I hate to be late,
It hurts my motor to go so slow.
Time I get home my supper'll be cold,
Damn this traffic jam.
Now I almost had
A heart attack,
Looking in my rear view mirror,
I saw myself
The next car back,
Looking in the rear view mirror,
About to have
A heart attack, I said,
Damn this traffic jam,
How I hate to be late,
It hurts my motor to go so slow.
Time I get home my supper'll be cold,
Damn this traffic jam.
Now when I die
I don't want no coffin,
I thought about it
All too often.
Just strap me in
Behind the wheel
And bury me with
My automobile.
Damn this traffic jam,
How I hate to be late,
It hurts my motor to go so slow.
Time I get home my supper'll be cold,
Damn this traffic jam.
Damn.
Now I used to think
That I was cool
Running around
On fossil fuel,
It turned out
What I was doing
Was driving down
The road to ruin.
LYRICS
Sea Cruise
The old man rhythm's gotten in my shoes
Know you're sittin' here and singing the blues
So be my guest, you got nothing to loose
Won't you let me take you on a see cruise
I said
Huey Huey babe, Huey Huey babe, Huey Huey babe
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
I feel like jumping, babe, won't you join me please
oh babe, please
I don't like digging but now I'm on that need
I've got to get the moving, babe, I ain't lying
My heart is beating rhythm and it's right on time
Be my guest, you got nothing to loose
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
I said
Huey Huey babe, Huey Huey babe, Huey Huey babe
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise

Love seeing Lee Sklar singing. Usually he’s very quiet and serious playing his bass.
Really enjoyed the concert last night. On behalf of the Filipino people, thank you very much JT for giving us joy, happiness and inspiration in life through your music. Mabuhay James and Kim Taylor. ❤
Wow! That was great! Maybe JT will pull out these songs for the summer tour🚙🚗🚕🚓🛳️🚢⛴️
Wowza! Leland can sang! Who knew?!
James did you forget "well I almost had a heart attack" or did you purposely do an abbreviated version for the sake of time? Inquiring minds want to know…🤓
But either way this was really fun to watch and I had never seen it before! So great Arnold prime in all his glory and the wonderful Rosemary and Leland makes a fourth and everybody in great form. Thank ya Baby!
He did sing almost had a heart attack. 0:50
Great to see our late great friend Carlos Vega actually singing some backup vocals. He looks so young in this video. He left us 27 years ago today…
⚓️ Thanks James 🌈
I'd watch JT singing the phone directory!
So fun!
Glad you put this up. Love seeing some of the ole’ gang there together singing, especially Lee. And great seeing Carlos smile while he’s singing along.
FABULOUS!
Got my blood pumping 🎉
Pretty slick, but it seems to me there are too many shrieks in “Sea Cruise” (a song I remember from Herman’s Hermits). One or two would have sufficed,
Excellent! ❤❤❤❤
Love to you James ❤
Olé!!!
Miss the Traffic Jam bass solo.
😊🥰
今日ライヴ行きます！楽しみです🎉
We love you sir. Keep fighting the good fight for all of us! 💪🏾💙
Love that song
❤
James Taylor you are still slick.
