I think I saw you driving down the wrong way down the highway last night I think I saw your eyes as you burned out of sight As pale as the moon, as wild, as bright Blackberry body, Chevy Nova 1979 Run it out Drop it down Rev it up The speed of sound I blaze on, my mind now in over-drive Where is she coming from, is there anybody left alive I can’t shake that frame, how the sweat in the dash light shines Do I turn and follow or is it better just to leave her behind Run it out Drop it down Rev it up The speed of sound Goddamn gasoline love It burns me out Drag like a strike-anywhere Along the ground Shit, I think I hear sirens, there’s got to be more than one So I cut down the back roads that snake along route 31 My smile it widens, my heart pumps a machine gun I know where to find you and I know just where we’ll run Run it out Drop it down Rev it up The speed of sound

I have never lived without you Though been gone six years ago I hear echoes in the hallway I see shadows I think are ghosts I smell perfume in my bed sheets Smeared makeup on my clothes I find diamond earrings in the floorboards LEAVE ME ALONE Found your picture in the drawer Why I keep it, man, I’m not sure I see Parliaments crushed on the curb That’s your lipstick, yeah, I’m sure Am I crazy? You’ve been around I see you everywhere, I’m about to drown I’m so horny, I’m about to crack WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK

I could have been a lawyer I bet that would have made my Dad proud I could be driving some luxury car Instead of this old van that I got now I could have been a surgeon So many ladies tell me I have great hands I could take long vacations And lose my Rolex in the sand I got a good thing going These choices have been my own I got a good thing going because I know Life goes on until it don’t I should have been an actor I’ve been acting most my life I’d make millions a picture And have to give it all to my ex-wife I got a good thing going These choices have been my own I got a good thing going because I know Life goes on until it don’t So what are you waiting for? You got something better to do? We’re all just getting older And uglier Now, my Dad gave me this guitar And it requires my tender hands And I quit lying to my girlfriend And that van, that’s for the band, man I got a good thing going These choices have been my own I got a good thing going because I know Life goes on until it don’t I got a good thing going These choices have been my own I got a good thing going because I know Life goes on until it
