All Gas No Brakes

A spray-painted line on the west end of Main Street

Up to that night, my '85 had never been beat

Some kid from 'cross the county got all mouthy

'Bout his daddy's new Camaro and it was all gas

No way I coulda known that back tire'd blow out

I'd end up in a field, wheels up, upside-down

When that truck got back runnin', it was double or nothin'

On your mark, get set, go, yeah, that's how it goes

When the only way you know, man, is wide-ass open

You don't mean to break things, but sometimes, they end up broken

And I know it ain't easy, your poor heart takes a beatin'

Puttin' up with all the hell I raise

But I do everything one way

So 'til my last day, I'm gonna love you

All gas, no brakes

♪

Glad you didn't listen when your friends called me reckless

Said I was hell on wheels with a cross on a necklace

I'm sure you told 'em all I've come around a little bit

But I'm still the kind of dog that ain't got no quit

When the only way you know, man, is wide-ass open

You don't mean to break things, but sometimes, they end up broken

And I know it ain't easy, your poor heart takes a beatin'

Puttin' up with all the hell I raise

But I do everything one way

So 'til my last day, I'm gonna love you

All gas, no brakes, baby

I'm gonna love you

Pedal to the floor

All I got and more

Buryin' that needle in the dashboard

'Cause when the only way you know, man, is wide open

When the only way you know, man, is wide-ass open

You don't mean to break things, but sometimes, they end up broken

And I know it ain't easy, your poor heart takes a beatin'

Puttin' up with all the hell I raise

But I do everything one way

So 'til my last day, I'm gonna love you

All gas, no brakes

No brakes, baby
