Life is just a freeway They never let you slow down Push the pedal to the floor The winds the only sound You better watch out for the speed traps Watch out for black ice You take the turns too fast You're gonna pay with your life Gimme a break, gimme a break Gimme a break Break in the action Progress is the password Push and shove some more Finance is the game plan With the neighbors keeping score They've got me running here and there Let nothing in your way Let no one defeat you They've already dug my grave Chorus The nighttime hours are filled with music Loud, hard and fast My nerves are a tangled mess I don't know if I can last I just need some time now I gotta learn to relax The way I'm going I'm on a dead man's track Chorus I'm a rock n' roll junkie Give me another hit I just want the high-grade stuff I need another fix I don't care where you conic from Don't really care where you've been You look like a loser And we all play to win Chorus
