Hey you, traveler, I've been wondering
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 cry

I keep 'a telling you and me
Life is meant to be
(One way to drive killing you you killing me)

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

Why can't they see? Signs were meant to be
(A wonderful way for them to you from me)

Don't run, don't splash, don't move, or pass
Too many careless people never take dare glance
Don't rest, don't swear, lifeguard nowhere
So jump into the water
Why not take a chance?

Oh, I wish they'd understand
That a sign never take command
It's a warning in disguise
(Keep from giving all you can)

Hey there, traveler, I've still wondering
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

Hey there, traveler
Can you tell me why people pass them by?
They don't read them, never heed them
