Summer's kickin' in, I can feel the heat
Comin' through my car window
Friday nights are red brake lights
Stuck in here like cargoDead or alive on the 405
Traffic's moving like a slug
Dead or alive on the 405
Stuck behind a '68 bugAnd I might make a Hummer
If I ever make Redondo tonightI'm going in cold on a pick-up gig
And in between the classic sticks
You play your hit from '89
I'll sing mine from '95Dead or alive on the 405
Traffic's moving like a slug
Dead or alive on the 405
Behind some hippies in a '68 bugAnd I might make a Hummer
If I ever make Redondo tonightJust like Ronnie sang, just like Ronnie sang
Gimme my Eddie MoneyDead or alive on the 405
Traffic ain't moving yet
Dead or alive on the 405
Now it's a gray hair in a new CorvetteDead or alive on the 405
I'm just a cover band drummer
Stuck behind a Hummer
On the 405, dead or alive
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come onDead or alive on the 405
Dead or aliveI won't play Mustang Sally
We'll have write up, Nickelback, L.A.Dead or alive on the 405
Dead or alive on the 405
Dead or alive on the 405
Dead or alive, dead or alive
