💬 Behind the Song
The idea for One Finger Salute came from those everyday driving frustrations we all face—tailgaters, phone-scrollers, and folks who just don’t seem to know what a blinker is. Instead of staying mad, this song spins it into laughter. It’s got a little grit, a whole lotta humor, and that down-home joy only God can stir up in a cowboy’s heart.

Lyrics
[Verse]
Well, I was drivin' down the highway, feelin' pretty fine,
When a fella cut me off, didn't see the line,
He was messin' with his phone, not payin' no mind,
So I greeted him my way, with that one-finger sign.
[Chorus]
Wavin' at people with the one-finger salute,
It's my way of sayin' "Hey, you're bein' a brute!"
When you don't use your blinker or you tailgate too,
I wave at people with the one-finger salute.
[Verse]
That minivan ahead, takin' two whole lanes,
Drivin' like their blindfolded, I swear it gave me pains,
Honkin' my horn didn't seem to compute,
So I waved at them kindly with the one-finger salute.
[Chorus]
Wavin' at people with the one-finger salute,
It's my way of sayin' "Hey, you're bein' a brute!"
When you don't use your blinker or you tailgate too,
I wave at people with the one-finger salute.
[Verse]
Then there's that Sunday driver, goin' twenty in a fifty,
Grandma’s in her Buick, thinkin' she's so thrifty,
I tried to be patient, but my patience was moot,
So I greeted sweet ol' Granny with the one-finger salute.
[Chorus]
Wavin' at people with the one-finger salute,
It's my way of sayin' "Hey, you're bein' a brute!"
When you don't use your blinker or you tailgate too,
I wave at people with the one-finger salute.
