Reach in my backpack for a light
Somebody teach me how to drive
I'm spinning left
Well, I've lost my right
I've lost my right of way
Somewhere in back of me
Down the interstate
With what should be my fate

If there's such a thing
I've learned my lesson too well
Cuz now I know that life can
Bring a man to lose himself
With both eyes closed
Driving way too fast
Because I know this road
Like the back of my hand
What a perfect way to die
What a stupid way to drive

Reach in my backpack for a light
Somebody teach me how to drive
Smoke with my left
Steer with my right
But now both hands are free
And I'm trusting my instincts
To get me home safe before I end up face to face
With what should be my fate

If there's such a thing
I've learned my lesson too well
Cuz now I know that life can
Bring a man to lose himself
With both eyes closed
Driving way too fast
Because I know this road
Like the back of my hand
What a perfect way to die
What a stupid way to drive

Thought I'd never see another sunrise
Burn its way into these eyes of mine
Ain't it funny how you have to die
Before you really learn just how much you need to be alive

Hold on
Here I go again
Pictures of you
Who are my friends
Hold on, hold

If there's such a thing
I've learned my lesson too well
Cuz now I know that life can
Bring a man to lose himself
With both eyes closed
Driving way too fast
Because I know this road
Like the back of my hand
What a perfect way to die
What a stupid way to drive
