Skeleton Crew - Speed King Lyrics

Thrown into a dirty hole
Workin' fingers to the bone
A working man's soul is hammered dead and cold
A heart chiseled out of black stone
You double down as you dream of escape
Your body aches but there's no time to rest
With bills like hounds breathing down your neck
You can only try your best

You've got this need, a yearn
You got rubber to burn
You're a speed king
You gotta rev this motor up to feel alive
We're all grease and mud, it's in our blood
I'm a speed king, yes I am
Give me a straight long road to set my soul on fire

Speed thrills, feel the spin of the wheels
Hear the Rumble from the road
Faster, faster to feel you're alive
Give fire and reload
Life is now so grip it, rip it
To see how fast you can go
You're a motor head, spewing lead
Chewing flies, go (Move) straight ahead
Burn out, never fade. Live until you're dead

You've got this need, a yearn
And some money to burn
You're a speed king
You gotta light this gasoline up to feel alive
We're all grease and mud, it's in our blood
I'm a speed king, yes I am
Give me a straight long road to set my soul on fire

You've got this need, a yearn
You got rubber to burn
You're a speed king
You gotta light this gasoline up to feel alive
We're all grease and mud, it's in our blood
I'm a speed king, yes I am
Give me a straight long road to set my soul on fire
