Speed don’t hurt

She left her key in the ashtray tray

Said “we’re done” by the payphone glow

I pulled out hard on a two-lane bleed

With her name still stuck on the dash in the snow

So I race

I race

Past the diner signs and the county line

I race

I race

Tryna outrun the break in my mind

The road keeps calling my name

My name

And I go

I go

I go

Tires singing on the blacktop seams

Gas gauge low and my hands go white

At every red I see your face

Then I punch it hard into the night

So I race

I race

Past the diner signs and the county line

I race

I race

Tryna outrun the break in my mind

The road keeps calling my name

My name

And I go

I go

I go

[Half-time

Guitars smear and the drums hit heavy]

If I slow down

I feel it all

Every word

Every crack

Every fall

So I floor it through the dark

Let it burn

Maybe speed is the only thing that doesn’t hurt

So I race

I race

Past the diner signs and the county line

I race

I race

Tryna outrun the break in my mind

The road keeps calling my name

My name

And I go

I go

I go
