I'm travelin' down the road,
I'm flirtin' with disaster.
I've got the pedal to the floor,
My life is runnin' faster.
I'm out of money, I'm out of hope,
It looks like self destruction.
Well how much more can we take,
With all of this corruption.
Been flirtin' with disaster,
Ya'll know what I mean.
And the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don't know about yourself
Or what you want to be, yeah!
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.
I'm travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm draggin' a heavy load.
Yeah! I've tried to turn my head away,
Feel about the same most every day.
Speedin' down the fast lane,
Playin' from town to town.
The boys and I have been burnin' it up,
Can't seem to slow it down.
I've got the pedal to the floor,
Our lives are runnin' faster.
Got our sights set straight ahead,
But I ain't sure what we're after.
Flirtin' with disaster,
Ya'll damn sure know what I mean.
You know the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don't know about yourself
Or what you plan to be, yeah!
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.
Yeah, we're travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Don't try to turn my head away,
I'm flirtin' with disaster every day.
Flirtin' with disaster, baby,
Ya'll know what I mean.
You know the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don't know about yourself
Or what you plan to be.
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.
Yeah, we're travelin' down this lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Don't try to turn my head away,
I'm flirtin' with disaster every day.
