Midnight Mountain Ride

Living my life in a two horse town Everybody always telling me to slow down All I ever wanted to do was hit the road Well the faster I pushed it the more I lived And that gas pedal never did give All I dreaded was flashing lights and speed limit signs I went riding on a Midnight Highway Mile high in hollers low Honey I went cruising scooting sideways Pushing speed limits on county roads Well all I have right now is this steering wheel in my hands As the radio swirls around me music from a southern rock'n'roll band Don't know where I'm going or when I'm gonna stop Oh but one things sure this, runaway curse is just a high that can't be topped Lord pray I never run out of backroad Because my troubles spread as far as the mountains and their miles below If the sheriff ever stops me, I know what tale he'll tell She was running wide open, heading straight for hell I went riding on a Midnight Highway Mile high in hollers low Honey I went cruising scooting sideways Pushing speed limits on county roads Lord I'm a runaway whose lost her way back home Lord I'm a runaway whose lost her way back home I went riding on a Midnight Highway Mile high in hollers low Lord I went cruising scooting sideways Pushing speed limits on county roads
