I love this song; I’m actually surprised I’m the first to comment about it. It’s all about getting ahead of yourself and “burning out” too fast. I think Boston realized they were headed for greatnesses and this song shows just how humble they really were. Not like today’s modern rock groups who play one good song and think their gods on stage. They burn themselves out by taking to much credit for there shitty songs and one hit wonders. Boston however play classics and “Cool the Engines” shows that even though they knew they were a hot band: We keep getting hotter, Movin' way too fast, They realized that if they blow themselves out of proportion they were going to fade like everyone else. Moral of the story: Don’t get ahead of yourself and think that your shit smells sweeter then most. Cool your engines.
