Racing Cincinatti Lyrics
August is hangin' this town out to dry
I'll bet we'll be the last ones to leave town
Someone's gotta reach
I guess that someone is me
And I'll bet you'll be the last star shot down
Let's be off tonight
While we're awake enough to drive
By this time tomorrow, we'll be alive
And you're reading me lines from a song your wrote
It was something about a dragon of a girl you knew
That you lost on this road to hell with me
Call it fate or bad luck
Nothing mystifies us
I'll bet you'll be the last star shot down
Call it fate or bad luck
Nothing mystifies us
City streets and hearts make the same sound
Summer's droppin' hints
While my heart's workin' edge
Walks the dust of midday down to it's grave
Braver men than me have walked the lines asleep
Know that you're where forever and fourth street meet
Sing the praise of this road to hell with me
Call it fate or bad luck
Nothing mystifies us
I'll bet you'll be the last star shot down
Call it fate or bad luck
Nothing mystifies us
City streets and hearts make the same sound
August is hangin' this town out to dry
I'll bet we'll be the last ones to leave town
I'll bet you'll be the last star shot down
I'll bet we'll be the last ones to leave town
I guess that someone is me
And I'll bet you'll be the last star shot down
While we're awake enough to drive
By this time tomorrow, we'll be alive
It was something about a dragon of a girl you knew
That you lost on this road to hell with me
Nothing mystifies us
I'll bet you'll be the last star shot down
Nothing mystifies us
City streets and hearts make the same sound
While my heart's workin' edge
Walks the dust of midday down to it's grave
Know that you're where forever and fourth street meet
Sing the praise of this road to hell with me
Nothing mystifies us
I'll bet you'll be the last star shot down
Nothing mystifies us
City streets and hearts make the same sound
I'll bet we'll be the last ones to leave town
I'll bet you'll be the last star shot down

this song is amazing..reminds me of leaving home..and falling in love all at once..one life is ending forcing another to die along with it.
to me, it signify's the heartbreak, maybe that of David Moore, fresh out of high school, and maybe spending the summer with a close friend who has always been there, all their life until it comes time to move on, and start a new life. it quote's the month "august", generally the month when people pack up and move off to college. It means a lot to me because I lost my best friend that august, after the best summer of my life, just after graduating high school, then came time when everyone moved on, and this song always reminds me of that, and ill always miss her.
used to be ahuge split lip fan... does anyone know why split lip re-recorded and renamed their band during fate's got a driver?
man this song is awesome! sounds really quite different from their style in their split lip days, all good though.
split lip just wanted a change of direction and a change of style/lyrical content mainly so they changed to Chamberlain because they wanted to seperate from their more hardcore roots.
