Unsafe at Any Speed (feat. Beau Eastlund)

Billy and me were outsiders, no we never did fit in
Getting off on the in crowd we kept laughing just to kill the pain
We were Heads full of questions and dreams way bigger than any school
Busting out at the seams all over while we kept on playing the fool

Do you remember that night Billy when we were sideways in the road
Told our folks we were camping, we took your Corvair out to the Colorado
We pulled up at the river, kicked back and partied with all the wandering freaks
I wonder if they were like us, we'll never know 'cause half of them could not speak

We were
Unsafe at any speed and it's a wonder that we survived
Unsafe at any speed we felt weird to be alive
Unsafe at any speed we went flying into the night
Unsafe at any speed getting high and getting tight

Do you remember the music like I remember flying away
On the magic and the beauty of laughing and crying and belting out harmony
Last night I had it happen again Billy I was with some friends we were drinking wine
I drifted off in the music the chills shot down my spine and I was flying

It's like a gift from god or the universe or something
To feel that one sweet moment of bliss
The perfect chord or sunset or wave or the one you love
When they finally give you that first real kiss

Unsafe at any speed and it's no wonder that we survive
Unsafe at any speed when it feels so fine to be alive
Unsafe at any speed go flying into the night
Unsafe at any speed getting by on feeling alright

These kids today now Billy, I just can't understand what they do
Extremely odd behavior and hair, half of them can't tie their shoes
They sit glued to the video screen eating pizza and talking about virtual reality
TikTok Genderflux Tinderbox Bitcoin What the Actual Fox? It's all Greek to me

But what's the difference 'tween them and us Billy?
In the end, what the hell do we know?
We keep seeking the limits of love and existence
As we reel off down the road

Unsafe at any speed and it's a wonder that we survive
Unsafe at any speed still feels somewhat peculiar to be alive
Unsafe at any speed we go flying into the night
Unsafe at any speed running hard after the light

Billy and me were outsiders
We never did fit in
