[Verse 1]

Hey you, traveler, I've been wonderin'

Say, can you tell me why people pass them by?

They don't read them, never heed them

Hey, listen to the signs, you don't have to die

[Bridge]

I keep a-tellin' you and me

Life is meant to be

What a way to die

It's killing you, you killing me

[Verse 2]

Stop sign, red light, one way, keep right

Still, half a million died on the road last year

Bear, deer crossing, pheasant walking

No time to stop the car, we killed it, drop a tear...drop

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Why can't they see

Signs werе meant to be

A word or phrase from thеm

From you, you from me?

[Verse 3]

Don't run, don't splash, don't move or pass

Too many careless people never dare glance

Don't rest, don't swear, lifeguard nowhere

So, jump into the water, why not take a chance?

[Bridge]

Oh, I wish they'd understand

That a sign never take command

It's a warning, it's a drag

You better keep them all you can

[Verse 4]

Hey there, traveler, I'm still wonderin'

Say, can you tell me why people pass them by?

Just listen to the signs, you don't have to cry

Hey, listen to the signs you don't have to die

[Interlude]

[Verse 1]

Hey you, traveler

Can you tell me why people pass them by?

They don't read them, never heed them

Hey, listen to the signs, you don't have to cry

[Outro]

Stop sign, red light, one way, keep right

Still, half a million died on the road last year
