Hagar, Sammy - I Can't Drive 55 Lyrics

Lyrics:

One foot on the brake and one on the gas, hey
Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass, no
So I tried my best illegal move
A big black and white come and crushed my groove again

Go on and write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
I can't drive 55, oh no, uh

So I signed my name on number 24, hey
Yeah the judge said, "Boy, just one more, huh
I'm gonna throw your ass in the city joint"
Looked me in the eye, said, "You get my point?"
I say "Yeah!, Oh yeah"

Write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
I can't drive 55, oh yeah

(I can't drive 55)
(I can't drive 55)
(I can't drive 55)
(I can't drive) 55, uh

When I drive that slow, you know it's hard to steer
And I can't get my car out of second gear
What used to take two hours now takes all day
Huh, it took me 16 hours to get to L.A

Go on and write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
I can't drive 55

No, no, no, I can't drive, (I can't drive 55)
I can't drive (I can't drive 55)
(I can't drive 55)
(I can't drive 55)

1:38 THE MOST SAVAGEEEEE THING A PERSON CAN DO TO COP

I told the judge in traffic court this song made me speed. I got six months probation.

"What is this light, painted red?!"

can I just have the truck

Sammy Hagar's audition tape for Van Halen.

Why isn't this NASCARs theme song?

I met sammy over the summer...real nice guy

This is a super fun song. This shows the time and style of the kids in the 70's and 80's! They had a rebellious streak and took it our on the highways of America. The had super rods to streak down the road in and metal booming out of the radios to spur them on!! Great time for all, but the law and parents involved!!!

SAMMY WOULD LIKE TO MARRY IN.

MORE OF THIS HALLELUJAH

Go to Germany ... you can Drive so Faaast yooo Can """

Most don't have the patience to drive at that speed in this fast-paced world when they know that they could safely go faster. I'm glad that most states finally found the wisdom to realize that the 55mph speed limit only annoys drivers, that most drivers were ignoring the law anyway and have since raised it to 70 or higher. I first heard this song on the NBA2K18 video game soundtrack. It's the best track on it in my opinion. 🎶🎸🚔

the word Resisting is misspelled on the ticket as Risisting. also, The action figure the judge hangs is a Star Wars Han Solo toy.

That was our theme song whenever we would come back from a tour in Germany after driving the no speed limit on the autobaun.

First time seeing this.....so 80s ....lol

Sammy is one of the coolest dudes on the planet. I've loved this guy way before he joined Van Halen. And I still say, that his solo stuff, before he joined VH, is better than their stuff with Roth. Three Lock Box and Standing Hampton, imo, is much better than anything that Van Halen had done, at that point in time. With the exception of Fair Warning. And that's only because of "Dirty Movies"... But, that's my opinion. I remember seeing this concert, at the Fort Wayne Coliseum, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, when I was in high school. Sammy actually pointed to me in the balcony, and said "All right, brother!", as I was hanging the jersey concert shirt I had bought, over the railing, and waving it. It had his Ferrari on the front, and a 55 mph speed limit sign on the back, with a "Ghostbusters" insignia over it. I had gotten majorly drunk and stoned that night, as was the routine for any concert, especially a great one like this. Don't even remember who opened. I got the ticket somewhere -I'll find out. I can tell ya this... I bought that shirt. It was the most expensive one there. Had no inclination that there was anything special about it, no one said shit to me when I bought it.? So, I get home that night, and go up to my bedroom. I'm in the 10th grade. My sophomore year of high school. I'm blowed, happy, and it was a great fukn night. I hang my shirt over the chair in my bedroom, admire it, burn one last doobie, (blowing it out the window, with the fan on, of course), and lay down. The night, and the music, still going through my head. I casually look over, and freak the fuk out!!! I thought there was a ghost in my room! I'm trippin hard... Then, after careful consideration and much thought, I figure out that the speed limit sign, with the Ghostbusters insignia, is GLOW IN THE DARK! For real! No one told me, and that shit had me fucked up! Lol. Sammy fukn rules. A class act, all the way.

Biff's world

Kick ass song for punchin' the car, especially on the Autobahn

when the 55 limit was put into place..... montana said "fuck you, its 160 miles to walmart.... we gotta GO to get places"
so the gov't tried to pull hhighway funding

so MT said "ok, we will go to 55.... but its a 5 dollar ticket for "wasting natural resources" with no points

people would keep a roll of 5 in their car....... do 125..... get pulled over....toss a 5 out the window, and peel out

also...... i wish we still had "reasonable and prudent" for a speed limit.... (too bad the out of state fucks doing 150 had to rune that)

85 in a modern car is NOT fast.....it can stop in the same distance a 90s can could at 65..... steers better.....better air bags and seatbelts.... ETC

Wenn auf der deutschen Autobahn Tempolimit herrscht.

Makes me wonder what might have been if Sammy Hagar remained a solo artist......

Is the Judge Jim Henson?

1:41
Dude, you need a Tic Tac.

I loved blastin this on the way home from school on my moped . Ahhh 1985 youth

Well at least he stopped. XD

Still cranking up Sammy in 2020 this song kicks ASS!

I love this song.

The video would have been way cooler with something like a 68 Camero.

david lee roth is so much beter

i knew he was in it !!!

Saw him in 1980-something, and still remember this song. He really rocked.

I like this classic song but I got to comment
Sammy: When I drive that slow
You know it's hard to steer
Judge : Buy a car with power steering
Sammy: and I can't get my car out
Of second gear
Judge: Then buy a automatic
Sammy: What useally takes 2 hrs
Now it takes all
It took 16 hrs to get to LA
Judge: Get out of CALY

“Can’t get my car out of second gear” is not a transmission problem

Cops can't drive 55 either.

It's funny how this cheese ball tries to act tough.

Makes the alternate 1985 more bearable

Back to the Future Part 2 Folks :P

Sammy, you suck.

Funny they blanked out the word "ass" on this video, but it's played on the radio over the air all the time...

Best music video ever

This is what happens when they let Ronald Mcdonald drive!! Its either him or some weirdo stole his clown costume!!

i’m surprised there aren’t lots of comments saying they came from back to the future 2

@0:47 - @1:17 Me trying to do the speed limit in Kentucky.

Didn't know hulk Hogan could sing lol

2:16 Adam Levine!

Thumbs down ...too many ads on this .

Grandma cold cocked and took Sammy out

Digging deep with Cody Janssen and Doug gust brought me here

Kia soul. Damn.. I see it in a new way..
I dont drive period. So.. I'll be nothing, you start complaining now. As if you are more angry about it than me. Good stuff

I'll never see 55 but until then I'll live. And LOVE my power. Dodge

1:38
Why is he assaulting a police officer?

Because he can't drive 55

Wow! Super!!!

This song was on Back to the Future Part 2 and on Bumblebee

I can't drive 55. Because my car only goes 38

"watch where you are going, crazy drunk pedestrin" - homeless bum in B.T.T.F. II hahaha gets me everytine

Ferrari 308GTB?

When you realize that Donald trump is biff tamnen I hate Las Vegas Nevada

2:06 Someone misspelled "Resisting". 😂😂😂

Been repeating this “55” phrase for years as a reference to things that cost $55 but hadn’t got around to watching this video since the 80s,! 😝
Edit:as a kid we all thought that that was a real CHP cop(s)

How much contraband did the cop find in Sammy Hagar's hair ? L.O.L.

test 001

test 001

Absolutely love this guy he is great

I'm pretty sure this song was inspired by Troop B in Upstate New York. Coming out a Lake Placid.It was probably a relative if mine that pulled him over for....62 in a 55. True story ask Mr H. Smaller world than we think.All he got was a speeding ticket though.

Watching in 2020

Is that Han Solo being hung by the judge?

I drifted into a fence post on my quad while blasting this song I was in trouble for about 55 days cause my mom could not figure out what punishment to give to her not so badass daughter she gave me no driving the quad for 55 days cause the song I was play can't drive 55

That one dude looks like Shelly Duvall.

Thank you Mr Porter

2.1K who can't drive 55 or 155 for that matter.

I cant drive 55 because I drive an 86!

Sammy was a actually locked up for assault it wasn't till he grabbed the cop that he was arrested. Js

I can't believe he spent ten years with Van Halen putting up with Eddies $hit

one of the greatest guitar songs, EVER

Welcome to the Biff's, Tannen Museum !

Classic. I always wished I could go to that museum

Sammy I could be your daughter:)))

Did I tell you guys I was Raiderette. Yep sure was a good dancer!!!

Kenny Chesneys wife 💘 s Sammy Hagars 🎶 has since she was 4 😆 no since highschool. She listened to Kz93 FM out of Peoria Illinois

Ol Smiley screwed us with the 55 MPH

Nancy Pelosi said this guy speeding was Trump's fault and is a impeachable offense

The liberal Democrats came up with that 55 mph law. The Democrats are always destroying Americans freedoms

Sammy needs to update it to "I cant drive 75"

Unfortunately, on the day of filming, the guy who handled sparks flying out of guitars in 80's heavy metal videos had to call in sick.

First time I hear this son on BTTF 2 is was like WOW. What band is that?! :)

My favorite driving song!

These WWE promos are getting pretty damn good

avtic1 You mean WWF right?

Well I jumped into my hotrod and hubby had slipped this song in my CD player. Lol

sleepwhenyourdead love it!!

If Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, and Val Kilmer had a love child...

Good for him that he didn't get Hogan's hair.

He's the bastard love child of Will Ferrell a poodle and Dip

How u know

n Ronald McDonald.......

Buenos días así de rápido se viene el cambio climático del mundo ase un poquito de caló un poquitín 😁

Then go to Brian Cling

IN MY RED LAMBORGINI.......I ADKUST THE CASS AND CAMBAER AND REFLATED THE TIRES...........allright man im outt here

I remember waiting for ever for this video It was commercialized for release...7 PM.

How Michiganders drive.

Rock on!!!!

Can’t drive without grinding the gears!

You couldn’t say ass back then but in rap videos talking about eating ass isn’t even looked at twice

Sammy was a tad irresponsible there

Bom Vocalista, mas sem carisma nenhum

ahahahah deves ser uma especialista em carisma.

Whenever this song comes on, I always always ALWAYS have to scream “I! CAN’T! DRIVE! FIFTY FIIIIIIIVE!!!!!” It’s been my tradition since I was a little kid.

The Immortal Hulk Hogan called... HE WANT'S HIS COLORS BACK!
