The Speed of Sound
White fingernail sliver of a moon
Old oaks and creeks flying by
White whisper-like milky in the sky
Drive on and think bout you too
Ya, Im just a highwayman
Mak'n a liv'n any way I can
Born in a small little town
Mak'n my way back at the speed of sound
Red green and white shining off the bay
Dark drivers hide staring on
Orange smoky clouds hanging as I yawn
Sleep In the Dark Alleyway
Ya, Im just a highwayman
Mak'n a liv'n any way I can
Born in a small little town
Mak'n my way back at the speed of sound
Blasting Rock and Roll
Rolling down the windows
Belting billy Joel
Tired of flivin in this fuckin limbo
Ya, Im just a highwayman
Mak'n a liv'n any way I can
Born in a small little town
Mak'n my way back at the speed of sound
Old oaks and creeks flying by
White whisper-like milky in the sky
Drive on and think bout you too
Ya, Im just a highwayman
Mak'n a liv'n any way I can
Born in a small little town
Mak'n my way back at the speed of sound
Red green and white shining off the bay
Dark drivers hide staring on
Orange smoky clouds hanging as I yawn
Sleep In the Dark Alleyway
Ya, Im just a highwayman
Mak'n a liv'n any way I can
Born in a small little town
Mak'n my way back at the speed of sound
Blasting Rock and Roll
Rolling down the windows
Belting billy Joel
Tired of flivin in this fuckin limbo
Ya, Im just a highwayman
Mak'n a liv'n any way I can
Born in a small little town
Mak'n my way back at the speed of sound
