lyrics

These pistons give life to this machine
Let’s drive it fast and leave behind everything
Those dead end jobs, those dead end dirty streets
It’s all in the rear view now behind you and me

Throw out the keys and letters and the stubs from our last checks
Turn up the radio and loosen the nooses around our necks
I’m speeding up, trying to keep it in between the lines
Tell me if you see the exit I’m taking it this time

And you say, “Maybe we can make it this time
I know we’re gonna make it this time
Remember everything we said we’d be
We’ll show ‘em all just you and me”

And there’s something burning bright
Where the headlights and the stars collide
Will it bring us back to life
If we leave everything behind
If we leave it all behind
Tonight

These pistons give life to this machine
To broken hearts and life to broken dreams
Dreams of car wrecks, dreams of freedom
Are like those wild painted trains by morning they’ll be leaving

And you say, “Maybe we can make it this time
I know we’re gonna make it this time
Remember everything we said we’d be
We’ll show ‘em all just you and me”
