I've been your driver since we were teens
Sober as a judge, while you lived out your dreams
Lately I'm feeling like a battered old shoe
Used up and worn out from taking care of you
I'm sick and tired of being the one
To keep you safe when the party's done
I wanna let loose, have fun for a change
No more being your designated driver
I need a break from being the one in control
Letting loose, feeling free, letting the good times roll
No more being shackled by responsibility
I'm done being your designated driver, I wanna be me
You say you're helping with this responsibility
I'm done being your designated driver
Tired of missing out on all the action
It's time for me to break free of this obligation
Lately I'm feeling like a battered old shoe
Used up and worn out from taking care of you
I'm sick and tired of being the one
To keep you safe when the party's done
I wanna let loose, have fun for a change
No more being your designated driver, it's time for a change
Nights on the town, always behind the wheel
While you're in the back getting an after party feel
I'm tired of missing out on all the action
It's time for me to break free from this obligation
I need a break from being the one in control
Letting loose, feeling free, letting the good times roll
No more being shackled by responsibility
I'm done being your designated driver, I want to be me
I wanna be me
