Speed

A whole lot of speed
on an open road
you're travelin'
Constantly tickin' down
to only givin' you away.
There is no making
U-turns
nor bustin any lefts 
to make a break
It's killin' you
this road trip.
But turnin' right 
is now too late.
So you speed on down
this roadway
In the only direction
left to drive.
I told you
it won't come easy
goin' down that
passing lane.
You didn't want to 
believe me when I said
You needed to 
slow down and appreciate.
So, I guess it's true-
Life's not fair-
And it's not fair 
that I can't help you!
I can't take your hands
from off that wheel!
