All Gas No Brakes

(앨범: Spray Painted Line - 2022)

A spray-painted line on the west end of Main Street
Up to that night, my '85 had never been beat
Some kid from 'cross the county got all mouthy
'Bout his daddy's new Camaro and it was all gas
No way I coulda known that back tire'd blow out
I'd end up in a field, wheels up, upside-down
When that truck got back running, it was double or nothing
On your mark, get set, go, yeah, that's how it goes

When the only way you know, man, is wide-ass open
You don't mean to break things, but sometimes, they end up broken
And I know it ain't easy, your poor heart takes a beating
Putting up with all the hell I raise
But I do everything one way
So 'til my last day, I'm gonna love you
All gas, no brakes

Glad you didn't listen when your friends called me reckless
Said I was hell on wheels with a cross on a necklace
I'm sure you told 'em all I've come around a little bit
But I'm still the kind of dog that ain't got no quit

When the only way you know, man, is wide-ass open
You don't mean to break things, but sometimes, they end up broken
And I know it ain't easy, your poor heart takes a beating
Putting up with all the hell I raise
But I do everything one way
So 'til my last day, I'm gonna love you
All gas, no brakes, baby

I'm gonna love you
Pedal to the floor
All I got and more
Burying that needle in the dashboard

'Cause when the only way you know, man, is wide open
When the only way you know, man, is wide-ass open
You don't mean to break things, but sometimes, they end up broken
And I know it ain't easy, your poor heart takes a beating
Putting up with all the hell I raise
But I do everything one way
So 'til my last day, I'm gonna love you
All gas, no brakes
No brakes, baby
