i shift into reverse
i haven`t got a place to go in this town
look out i`m cursed
i`m keeping one eye on the pavement
and one in the clouds
this time it hurts
i`m floorin` the pedal to save me from this town
i let it slide
another mistake another thing i can`t
fast cars and fast girls won`t keep us going
we`ve got to keep movin` on
in this city where every boy is so ready
i shift into third
i haven`t got a good friend left in this town
this time it hurts
i`m keeping my eyes on the road as i follow it down
i round the turn
still floorin` the pedal to save me from this town
i let it slide
another wrong turn it`s just another thing i can`t
i shift into first
another day closer to it
time flies why try when it`s easy to lose
but it`s easier to just forget
i round the turn
they`re following me
but i`m not any closer to it
i feel the burn
another day older
another thing i can`t
