The sound of my engine overtaking
The reflection of someone in the passenger seat
Your memory still haunts me
It's heartache that puts the lead in my feet
Careening towards the great unknown
Miles and miles away from home
105 in a 55 zone
Flickering headlights illuminate the way
Smoking, glowing twisted metal
Zigged but did not zag
As I look I see my passenger is I
With a gun pointed at my head
Careening towards the great unknown
Miles and miles away from home
105 in a 55 zone
Flickering headlights illuminate the way
Skipdash, skipdash, solid line
Who knows what lies ahead
A Brickwall, a cliff, a semi trailer
Jayne Mansfield or the rain on the land
Careening towards the great unknown
Miles and miles away from home
105 in a 55 zone
Flickering headlights illuminate the way
Flickering headlights illuminate the way
