about
Uptempo blues-Americana road song; trying to outdrive a broken heart.
lyrics
Speed
Copyright 2016 Sweet Amnesia Music, ASCAP
Trees blow by like a phantom train
My foot's on the pedal like a wanted man
Far behind me is a dead-end love
This yellow line can't pull hard enough
Cause I'm trying to make up for lost time
Trying to turn back a broken heart
Trying to make up for lost time
But memories move at the speed of light
I know you better than my stick-shift hand
I know your weather and your changing skies
I wore your thunder like a second skin
You linger too long, you pay the price
Trying to make up for lost time
Trying to turn back a broken heart
Trying to make up for lost time
But memories move at the speed of light
Keep on runnin', won't slow down
There's a fool behind this wheel
A mirage she thought was real
until the rain came down
Cities rise and they sink again
Another Atlantis in this black tar ocean
My head is burning and my mouth's a kiln
Speed is my only destination
Trying to make up for lost time
Trying to turn back a broken heart
Trying to make up for lost time
But memories move at the speed of light
