John Conlin - First Gear Lyrics

Maybe we've burned out
Pieces of him left long ago
Laying on the ground
Of this empty road, I'll walk alone
I gave him all my trust
But it was not enough
Shut the door, rolled the windows up (Windows up)
Shoulda known it wouldn't last
We were driving so damn fast
And the engine gave out on us (Out on us)
Oh! He went and left me speechless
Drove away into the darkness
He took the keys and let go
Left me here in first gear
Oh! He took off in the night, he
Drove away faster than lightning
Burning up every road
Left me here in first gear
Memories we made
Dust in the wind, drift out of sight
Every interstate
Wall to wall wreck, no way to ride
I gave him all my trust
But it was not enough
Shut the door, rolled the windows up (Windows up)
Shoulda known it wouldn't last
We were driving so damn fast
And the engine gave out on us (Out on us)
Oh! He went and left me speechless
Drove away into the darkness
He took the keys and let go
Left me here in first gear
Oh! He took off in the night, he
Drove away faster than lightning
Burning up every road
Left me here in first gear
Where were the warning signs?
When did he cross the line?
Did we make the miles or were we pretending?
Where were the warning signs?
When did he cross the line?
Nobody told me our journey was ending
Oh! He went and left me speechless
Drove away into the darkness
He took the keys and let go
Left me here in first gear
Oh! He took off in the night, he
Drove away faster than lightning
Burning up every road
Left me here in first gear
