Lyrics

He drove a 69/396
With the black stripes on the hood
It was a rag top- big block
Tear it up monster
He pushed it as hard as he could

Past the red road blocks
And highway signs
They meant more than he would know
And when the smoke blew out
From under the hood
Into the night like a haunted soul

But the weight on his shoulder
Was so heavy, heavy, heavy
And all he could do, he would do
To stay above the water line

[Chorus]
Drive it faster, harder
Longer, farther
Away from this godamn place
We're gonna punch a hole
Right through the blue
And be gone without a trace
Save nothing, but the story he left behind

[Chorus]

Bright lights flicker
They fade out fast
You can't chase shooting stars
Always drifting beyond you reach
And so much farther from where they are

[Chorus]
