|
I was driving from the day I was born |
|
I can picture it now and how I feel |
|
Standing on my grandfather's knee |
|
Holding on to the steering wheel |
|
Out onto the desert roads |
|
And all the years of in between |
|
I was always going too fast |
|
One part blood and one of gasoline |
|
Do they come to see a man fall - or to see him fly? (2x) |
|
The neon chrome in the dazzling sun |
|
The money I've lost and the money I've won |
|
All of it here, then all of it gone |
|
If I tell you that the world is hard |
|
All bleached out bone crushed to sand |
|
I'll tell you that I kept my word |
|
And more than that I never gave a damn |
|
There are those that come with an easy smile |
|
Maybe that is what they're for |
|
I was gone twenty-nine days |
|
You only get from me what you pay me for |
|
Do they come to see a man fall - or to see him fly? |
|
Do they come to see a man fall - or to see him fly? |
|
So did you come to see a man fall - or to see him fly? |
|
The river is deep, the valley is wide |
|
There's something waiting on the other side |
|
Crash the gates of heaven wide |
|
I'll take it now - and have a crack at the angels |
