Through breakdowns, shakedowns Arguments and fistfights and black eyes We made our way down unfamiliar highways to get by Passed street signs, white lines Set out underneath a blackened sky These ghost towns, fair grounds Cityscapes and bar tabs pass the time
We'd raise a glass every single night We cut up the road with the same mentality Live fast, die young we said It's a motto for the weak-willed But a slogan shouted in sincerity Through breakdowns, shakedowns Arguments and fistfights and black eyes We made our own rules and broke them all just trying to survive
A million miles an hour with summer's virgin hearts on fire We headed for a crash course in disaster Now it's a miracle we made it out alive And I can say I wouldn't trade it for the world Goodnight, sleep well So long, farewell This is only goodbye
