Demolition Derby

It was over in a flash In the blink of an eye Started first and finished last Everybody's fine but me Not me They won the race But not the season Scratched the surface Not the deeper meaning No That's what I tell myself They got gold But I got hunger Life's too short to sit and wonder Take me down To the demolition derby Oh Demolition derby Oh Joyride a red Corvette My grandfather's car How the hell did I get here Make it this far My life could have ended At seventeen like I planned it Guess I'm glad that I'm still kicking How the hell would I know What I was missing If I made that jump They got gold and I got silver Driving drunk on whiskey shots and pilsner Take me down To the demolition derby Oh Demolition derby Oh And I could be like everyone else but It's too fun defaming myself You make it easy I make it hard and Take another shot in the dark A shot in the dark Oh a shot in the dark There's nothing better to do Won't you take me down to The demolition derby Oh The demolition derby Oh It doesn't even hurt me Oh There's nothing better to do Won't you take me down too
