Lyrics

Super topical laundry-list one, but when Tony was describing his odd obsession with audibly declaring the signs that he sees while driving, this immediately popped in my head...

------------------------------------------

I, I’m livin’ my life, people always recognize me, I’m so glad
Drivin’ my Caddy down the Rockville Pike
I, then I look out my front window and what do I see?
Is that, is that 7/11? 7/11!!

I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
“There’s the Men’s Wearhouse, Ooo, there’s Il Timpano!
I see the signs, and it’s like a nice surprise, I see the signs.”
Do I say it for the world to hear? Nope, I’m driving in my Caddy and I’m all alone.
That’s just how I roll.

    Excellent. I think he did say it just like that, but it still didn't lead me to come up with something like this... you absolutely nailed it.

    It really wrote itself more than most others haha. I think Tony actually said "I saw the sign" at one point
