Speed of a Fool [Excerpt] Lyrics
Couldn't tell me nothing
Had to learn it on my own
On the restless side of seventeen
The day that I left home
Screaming down that highway
With a passion to break any rules
I went crashing at the speed of a fool
She was serving all night coffee
At a San Antonio cafe
She was headed nowhere
I was going her way
With a trusting soul and a naive heart
There was nothing I could do
So I went crashing at the speed of a fool
Chorus:
You're either born for holding back
Or bound for letting go
So I throw caution to the wind
Wherever it may blow
It's the only way I know
I go crashing at the speed of a fool
Got a hunger for that highway
I know will never end
Lord I can't help what I'm not
And I won't change what I am
'Til the roll is called up yonder
to my own self I'll be true
And go crashing at the speed of a fool
Repeat Chorus
I go crashing at the speed of a fool
Had to learn it on my own
On the restless side of seventeen
The day that I left home
Screaming down that highway
With a passion to break any rules
I went crashing at the speed of a fool
At a San Antonio cafe
She was headed nowhere
I was going her way
With a trusting soul and a naive heart
There was nothing I could do
So I went crashing at the speed of a fool
You're either born for holding back
Or bound for letting go
So I throw caution to the wind
Wherever it may blow
It's the only way I know
I go crashing at the speed of a fool
I know will never end
Lord I can't help what I'm not
And I won't change what I am
'Til the roll is called up yonder
to my own self I'll be true
And go crashing at the speed of a fool
