Lyrics
(Verse 1) A raging storm surrounds me The sheets of rain come crashing down And the wipers can't clear away the mem'ries Of that God forsaken town (Verse 2) With a gas tank full of guilt My conscience riding shotgun by my side On these one-way streets of life Lies a dead-end alibi (Pre-Chorus) And no matter how many miles I've driven Seems my tracks are beyond forgivin' (Chorus) So I put my foot to the floor, and my eyes ahead I know if they catch me, I'll be better off dead It won't be long before they find out what I did Yeah, if they catch me I'll be better off dead (Verse 3) Steering my way to nowhere Her blood's stained on my gripping hands The bright headlights chase away the shadows Of when I found her with another man (Verse 4) If the lights are green I speed on through If they're red I close my eyes Blue ones flashing in my rearview Catch me by surprise (Pre-Chorus) And no matter how many miles I drive Her voice keeps echoing from inside (Chorus) So I put my foot to the floor, and my eyes ahead I know if they catch me, I'll be better off dead It won't be long before they find out what I did Yeah, if they catch me I'll be better off dead (Verse 5) White lines flash and cut a dash Down the centre of my soul Blinding headlights make me swerve I'm losing control (Verse 6) The devil on one shoulder My angel in the trunk I 'm racing for the border line In this rusty piece of junk (Chorus) So I put my foot to the floor, and my eyes ahead I know if they catch me, I'll be better off dead It won't be long before they find out what I did Yeah, if they catch me I'll be better off dead (outro) I'm on the road to nowhere, got troubles on my mind Torn between a new beginning and the mess I've left behind
