James Taylor! This album finds JT with one foot still in his early singer-songwriter mode, with the smooth "Secret O' Life" being a prime example of that style here. His other foot is kicking around covers of songs other people made famous, and on JT the breakout cover was the mega-hit "Handy Man." Other strong songs include the bouncy "Your Smiling Face"; the satirical and empathetic "Traffic Jam"; and the relaxed but heartfelt "Terra Nova." So, stuck in traffic? I always get a hum of this song whenever traffic got me. huh., here's the lyric....
(Chorus)
Damn
This traffic jam,
How I hate
To be late.
It hurts my motor to go so slow.
Damn
This traffic jam,
Time I get home my supper'll be cold.
Damn
This traffic jam.
Well, I left my job about 5 o'clock,
It took 15 minutes go three blocks—
Just in time to stand in line,
With the freeway looking like a parking lot.
{Repeat Chorus}
Now, I almost had a heart attack—
Looking in my rear view mirror.
I saw myself the next car back,
Looking in the rear view mirror,
'Bout to have a heart attack.
I said . . .
{Repeat Chorus}
Now, when I die I don't want no coffin;
I've thought about it all too often.
Just strap me in behind the wheel
And bury me with my automobile.
{Repeat Chorus}
Now, I used to think that I was cool,
Running around on fossil fuel.
Until I saw what I was doing—
Was driving down the road to ruin.
