| Too many people jamming the road |
| I'm gonna be late, I declare a state |
| Of obstruction day |
| Yeah, we can climb the highest mountain, tunnel right under the sea |
| We got mobile homes, mobile phones, digital pay tv |
| With all this technology we think that we are free |
| But there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day |

| You can check it out with the weatherman, to see if the sun don't shine |
| Make plans if you wanna, and hope that it works out fine |
| You'll reach your destination but you won't arrive on time |
| 'cos there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day |
| No, there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day |
| Woah, there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day |
| Great blues song this. |
