Couldnt tell me nothing
Had to learn it on my own
On the restless side of seventeen
The day that I left home
Screaming down that highway
With a passion to break any rules
I went crashing at the speed of a fool
She was serving all night coffee
At a san antonio cafe
She was headed nowhere
I was headed her way
With a trusting soul and a naive heart
There was nothing I could do
So I went crashing , at the speed of a fool
(chorus)
Youre either born for holding back
Or bound for letting go
So I throw caution to the wind
Wherever it may blow
Its the only way I know
I go crashing at the speed of a fool
Got a hunger for that highway
I know will never end
Lord I cant help what Im not
And wont change what I am
Til the roll is called up yonder
To my own self Ill be true
And go crashing at the speed of a fool
(repeat chorus)
(tag)
I go crashing at the speed of a fool
