Throughout his career, Junior Brown has always stretched the boundaries of traditional country
music with his [B] unbelievable guitar chops and his unique vocal delivery.
[F#] Those are both on display here on this performance of Hang Up and [A#] Drive.
[C] _ [C#] Well, you know, Hang Up [B] and Drive [C] is a song I came [C#] up with and, you _ know, self-explanatory name.
How many people, we're all guilty of talking on the phone, but we're all mad at everybody
for doing the same thing we do, you know?
So _ that was the idea of the song.
It was a [B] lot of fun writing it.
[F#] Of course, you know, it's fun to [C#] see people's reaction when I'm doing it.
And, you know, I do a lot of my music is, [C#] I guess what you'd say, it sounds traditional,
it has a traditional [G#] sound [F#] to it, _ _ but it has modern subject matter like that.
It's obviously a new song.
You know, I would hate to not be [B] modern or up to date in some way.
And I think that was the [F#] genesis of a lot of my writing, was to kind of [C] be on [C#] the cutting
edge of that rather [C] [B] than just imitating [F#] something that's been done already. _ _

Hang up, _ _ _ honey, hang up.
You heard me.
_ _ Hang up and drive, get off of that telephone. _ _
_ _ You are over the road and you ain't looking [E] where you're going. _
_ _ [D] All you're doing [F#m] is a [D] yakety yak, [A] hanging hanging, looking [E] where you're at.
[A] So honey, hang up and [E] drive, get off of that [A] telephone. _ _
I mean, I [D] just about had it.
_ All your [A] gadgets and your gadgets, _ _ _ [E] like a warm electric pillow you [Bm] got pushed up tight
[A] against your head. _
[C#] You got some good [D] communication, _ but you ain't got no [Am] concentration. _
_ _ [B] You look like you could use all the good advice [E] that you could get. _
_ _ [A] Honey, hang up and drive, get off of that telephone. _ _
_ _ You are over the road and you ain't [E] looking where you're going. _
_ _ [D] All you're doing is a yakety yak, _ [A] and you got no way to watch your [E] back.
[F#] [A] So honey, hang up and [E] drive, get off of that [A] telephone. _ _
_ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _

_ Maybe it looks [D] like you've been napping, _ the way you're [A] driving when you're yapping. _
_ _ [E] But it's a big responsibility trying to drive an [A] automobile. _ _
_ I can see [D] that you're not thinking straight.
The way you took [A] that fella's parking [Fm] space.
_ _ [Am] Put that [B] thing up to your face.
You act like you're [E] asleep at the wheel.
_ [A] So honey, hang up and drive, get off of that telephone. _ _
_ _ You are over the road and you ain't looking [E] where you're going.
_ _ [D] All you're doing is a yakety yak, [A] and you ain't looking where [E] you're at.
So [A] honey, hang up and drive, [E] get off of that [A] telephone. _
_ _ _ [D] Get off that telephone, little girl, [A] and come back to the real [E] world.
[A] And honey, hang up and drive, [E] get off of [A] that telephone. _
_ _ _ Honey, hang up and [E] drive, get off of that [A] telephone. _
That includes texting.
Honey, hang up and [Em] drive, get off of that [A] telephone. _
Your skyping got me griping.
Hang up and [E] drive, get off of that [A] telephone. _
