Hey, wake up, your eyes weren't open wide
For the last couple of miles you've been swerving from side to side
You're gonna make me spill my beer,
If you don't learn how to steer
Passenger side, passenger side,
I don't like riding on the passenger side
Roll another number for the road
You're the only sober person I know
Won't you let me make you a deal,
Just get behind the wheel
Passenger side, passenger side,
I don't like riding on the passenger side
Should've been the driver, could've been the one
I should've been your lover, but I hadn't seen
Can you take me to the store, then the bank?
I've got five dollars we can put in the tank
I've got a court date coming this June
I'll be driving soon
Passenger side, passenger side,
I don't like riding on the passenger side
I don't like riding on the passenger side
For the last couple of miles you've been swerving from side to side
You're gonna make me spill my beer,
If you don't learn how to steer
Passenger side, passenger side,
I don't like riding on the passenger side
Roll another number for the road
You're the only sober person I know
Won't you let me make you a deal,
Just get behind the wheel
Passenger side, passenger side,
I don't like riding on the passenger side
Should've been the driver, could've been the one
I should've been your lover, but I hadn't seen
Can you take me to the store, then the bank?
I've got five dollars we can put in the tank
I've got a court date coming this June
I'll be driving soon
Passenger side, passenger side,
I don't like riding on the passenger side
I don't like riding on the passenger side

Clearly the driver isn't driving.
Tweedy says "let me make you a deal-
just get behind the wheel"
He says this after he sings
"You're gonna make me spill my beer
if you don't learn how to steer"
They have been swerving all around
with this other person "in control"
of the situation. I think he is saying
that he normally "wears the pants"
in relationships and he allowed
this other person to be in charge
and it is a swerving, swilling, spilling,
completely f-ed up mess. Maybe the
relationship "drove" him to drinking too
much.
He doesn't like riding on the passenger side.
He likes control, people.

Wilco gets ignored while Eminem gets worshipped.
What a sad, sad world we live in.
