Race Track Blues

You go, right down, the road, the one you used to know
So sly, you smile, the wink, the nod you gave before
Quick check, back step, the fear, is this how it's been done?
You go, right down, the road, the one that takes you home

You say you're going up, don't think you can fool me
I see you breaking down, ain't got no room to breathe
How many broken bones? Til you finally see
You wear your mistakes proud, don't mean a shit to me

It's been, six months, a coin, to show how well you've done
Cleaned up, your act, the trailer trash that'd you become
New shoes, hair back, a knock, you place upon her door
Swung wide, her rage, and bile, come spewing forth

You say you're going up, don't think you can fool me
I see you breaking down, ain't got no room to breathe
How many broken bones? Til you finally see
You wear your mistakes proud, don't mean a shit to me

You say, your clean, well that, don't mean a thing you
Show up, out of, the blue, and think I'll be happy
No breaks, for me, got bills to pay and mouths to feed
Or did, you forget, all about your family

The race track blues, have gotten you
Can you feel it? Ah running through your veins
You walk on out, crowd goes wild
And you feel it, just like you were a kid again
One deep breath, one sharp sting and you'll feel it
Ah running through your veins
Don't need much, drive one lap
And you'll feel it, just like you were a kid again
Driving now, your engine's wild
You don't see it, you're slipping out of control again
Lose the wheel, hit the ground when you feel it
You're going back into the dirt again
