lyrics
Drivin’ too fast, chewing on nicotine
You had cool plans, somewhere to take me
So of course I packed a bag,
And ignored all of the red flags
Keeping all the windows open
Couldn’t bear to see them close,
I couldn’t keep myself from hoping
Even while I felt so cold
Were you asleep at the wheel, all along
Now I see you in the rearview, and I got you so wrong,
Cuz you were pickin’ up speed,
And slammin’ the brakes down,
You drive so reckless, I should’ve known
Are you thinkin’ of me,
Puttin’ my foot down?
Cuz you drive, so reckless,
You shouldn’t be out here on these roads
I don’t know what you mean, don’t know how to move in reverse
So go on and flee the scene, I’ll hitch a ride with someone else
I’m tryin’ to take down all the details,
I’m throwin’ rocks at your windshield
Were you asleep at the wheel, all along
Now I see you in the rearview, and I got you so wrong
Cuz you were pickin up speed,
And slammin the brakes down,
You drive so reckless, I should’ve known
Are you thinkin of me,
Puttin’ my foot down?
Cuz you drive, so reckless,
You shouldn’t be out here on these roads
You shouldn’t be out here on these roads
I’ll take my broken parts to the auto shop of
Aching hearts and poor decisions
If I see you there, I’ll be sure to key your car
Wondering did you find another passenger,
and will she cause the same division By asking you, just what you are?
You shouldn’t be driving,
you shouldn’t be driving..
Cuz you were pickin up speed,
And slammin the brakes down,
You drive so reckless, I should’ve known
Are you thinkin of me,
Puttin’ my foot down?
Cuz you drive, so reckless,
You shouldn’t be out here on these roads
You shouldn’t be out here on these roads
You shouldn’t be out here on these roads
You shouldn’t be out here on these roads
