Full Speed Ahead...
Sometimes I feel like leaving this town
Without saying a word
Hop in a car and say goodbye to these clowns
Free-er than a bird
Rip the radio dial off
With a smile I'm off
To see what waits for me
Start new with no regrets
Behind the wheel, I'm through the ceiling
Is this the last you've seen of me
Start placing your bets
Cause I'm not satisfied
With the way things are going
And I'm not gonna lie
When I show signs of growing
For once I'm gonna try...
I feel time passing by
And from behind my desk I sigh
It might be in my head
But I swear I see life
Running from the corner of my eye
Full speed ahead
Another month of rent is paid
There's still more for them to take
From credit card receipts
Paid the cable bill, there's laundry still
No wonder I'm awake
Each night between the sheets
Where would I go if I had nothing else
And nowhere else to be
And stacks of thousand dollar bills?
Mapquest my heart's desire, refuel my fire
And you will see
Me head for the hills
I'm running out of time
I'm through with trying to plan it
When drowning in your mind
You either swim or panic
And now I'm gonna try...
I feel time passing by
And from behind my desk I sigh
It might be in my head
But I swear I see life
Running from the corner of my eye
Full speed ahead
And as I make this trek
I'll work for what I'm given
And even if I wreck
At least I'll know I've driven
Time to reshuffle my deck
I feel time passing by
And from behind my desk I sigh
It might be in my head
But I swear I see life
Running from the corner of my eye
Full speed ahead
Can't let this pass me by
Another day watching paint dry
Why should I crawl out of bed?
I'm gonna run head first
Slide through the dirt
And shout my battle cry
Full speed ahead
Full speed ahead
Sometimes I feel like leaving this town
Without saying a word...
Without saying a word
Hop in a car and say goodbye to these clowns
Free-er than a bird
Rip the radio dial off
With a smile I'm off
To see what waits for me
Start new with no regrets
Behind the wheel, I'm through the ceiling
Is this the last you've seen of me
Start placing your bets
