fast cars lyrics

i shift into reverse
i haven't got a place to go in this town
look out i'm cursed
i'm keeping one eye on the pavement
and one in the clouds

this time it hurts
i'm floorin' the pedal to save me from this town
i let it slide
another mistake another thing i can't

fast cars and fast girls won't keep us going
we've got to keep movin' on
in this city where every boy is so ready

i shift into third
i haven't got a good friend left in this town
this time it hurts
i'm keeping my eyes on the road as i follow it down
i round the turn
still floorin' the pedal to save me from this town
i let it slide
another wrong turn it's just another thing i can't

i shift into first
another day closer to it
time flies why try when it's easy to lose
but it's easier to just forget
i round the turn
they're following me
but i'm not any closer to it
i feel the burn
another day older
another thing i can't
