[Spoken Intro]
Style: Upbeat Southern rock with gritty humor and swagger in the style of JD & The Grits. Crunchy electric guitars, driving bass, and punchy live drums. Rowdy barroom energy, no pop-country polish. Performance: Male vocal with Southern grit and playful, animated delivery. Verses feel like a sarcastic argument, half-sung and conversational. Chorus is loud, chantable, and fun, meant for crowd interaction. Arrangement: Spoken intro, tight bouncy verses, big upbeat chorus. Brief pullback in the bridge, then a louder, faster-feeling final chorus. Exciting, funny, live-band energy throughout.

Lyrics
[Spoken Intro]
Safety says, “We just wanna talk.”
Yeah… that’s usually some bullshit.
Verse 1
I’m chasin’ daylight, chasin’ runs
Safety chasin’ me for fun
They say, “Ease up, you’re ridin’ close”
I say, “That Camry’s draggin’ ass at most”
They say, “Speed looks high to me”
I say "Kiss my ass" let me do the drivin' please
They say, “Camera, caught you in the left”
I say, “The way to pay me feels like theft”
Pre-Chorus
They watch screens, I watch roads
They count clicks, I count loads
Chorus
Safety wants a word, here we go again
No matter what i do, I just can't win.
They say “slow,” I say “fine”
They say “talk,” I say “time”
Every stop turns into class
While my wheels sittin' on fuckin' grass
Yeah, I’ll listen, no big sass
But safety wants a word to crawl my ass
Verse 2
They say, “Don't Brake too hard, You'll Shift your load”
I said, "Shit MotherFucker the Traffic slowed"
They say, “Your Inspection’s due”
I say, Whatever, add it to the shit I do”
They say, “Come on in, take a seat”
I say, “Hurry up Cause I don't miss a beat”
They say, “Violation risk is at an all time high”
Please Shut the Fuck up or I'm Stopping by”
Pre-Chorus
They speak policy, I speak flow
They speak meeting, I speak go
Chorus
Safety wants a word, right about now
I want another load some fucking how
They say “metrics,” I say “road”
They say “pause,” I say “load”
Every yard visit kills my day
Time don’t stretch just ’cause you delay
“Just be careful,” yeah, I get the class
But safety wants a word and that’s my ass
Bridge
Safety says, “We’re on your side”
Funny how my patience died
Safety says, “This won’t take long”
That’s my favorite bullshit song
They say, “It’s for your own good”
I say, “Yeah, I wish a mutherfucker would"
They say, “Sign here, initial there”
I say, “There ya go are we square”
Breakdown (Half-Spoken)
I ain’t reckless.
I ain’t wild.
I just hate meetings
that kill my miles.
Final Chorus
Safety wants a word, last call
I want daylight, road, and money haul
They say “slow down,” I say “fine”
But slow don’t give me back my fucking time
I’ll run it right, I’ll run the freight
But I ain’t sittin’ in a yard debate
So flag me, log me, send the text
Just know safety wants a word and I want next!
Outro
Still drivin’.
Still compliant.
Still mutterin’ “shit”
when I’m parked.
