San Antonio

black strap shoes left by the accelerator
who’s driving who off the tracks
this can’t be no accident
i know that she wants them back
dipping down deep in the valley
pass by her trailor alley
one last time maybe
pressing my luck baby
up against our weakness
this forbidden drive
burning fast bourbon like gasoline
this forbidden drive
one hundred miles an hour all through my blood stream
this forgotten drive
feels like déjà vu from a dream
dirty roads throwing up magic dust
i can see true love and i can see lust
i got someone waiting for me
why can’t i just let it be
because this ain’t about no rescue
anyway i could never be anymore
than another hot summer’s teardrop
lost in a cheap texas downpour
this forgotten drive
burning fast bourbon like gasoline
this forgotten drive
one hundred miles an hour all through my blood stream
this forgotten drive
just tonight and I’ll finally walk free.
