I was pulled over and intoxicated.. This was the fantasy I had while aiming for gold in an excellent bout of highway olympics.
lyrics
LOVE & A 45
In an old gold Chevy we raced, down route 66 Another night spent running, trying to get away from our sins Well I looked back and all I could see was those bright flashing lights Well, looks like it’s gonna be another one of those nights I slowly rolled my window down, and reached for the revolver I keep under the seat But my baby’s to fast, she too fast for me Looks like I might get to keep my conscience clean A little further up the road she turned to me and said “What is it dear”? I said, baby we gotta get the hell out of here
She said, push that Goddamned pedal down to the floor push that Goddamned pedal down to the floor push that Goddamned pedal down to the floor give me some more
Well, all we’ve ever known is running from those flashing lights, those dark desert highways and those cold clear midnight skies As long as it’s me and you As long as it’s you and I we’ll be alright
We’ll honey don’t make a wish that aint no falling star It’s just the spot light from the ghetto bird as she sings in the dark Don’t look now but I think I see the end of the road give me a kiss for good luck push that goddamned pedal and go
She said, push that Goddamned pedal down to the floor push that Goddamned pedal down to the floor push that Goddamned pedal down to the floor give me some more
