Speed Of A Fool

Couldn't tell me nothing had to learn it on my own

On the restless side of seventeen the day that I left home

Screaming down that highway with a passion to break any rules

I went crashing at the speed of a fool

She was serving all night coffee at a San Antonio Cafe

She was headed nowhere I was goin' her way

With a trusting soul and a naive heart there was nothing I could do

I went crashing at the speed of a fool

You're either born for holding back or bound for lettin' go

So I throw caution to the wind wherever it may blow

It's the only way I know I go crashing at the speed of a fool

Got a hunger for that highway I know will never end

Lord I can't help what I'm not and won't change what I am

Till the roll is called up yonder to my ownself I'll be true

And go crashing at the speed of a fool

You're either born for holding back...

I go crashing at the speed of a fool
