A single from our upcoming release, Live Wire Bed Fire.

lyrics

I was on the line
You were on the corner
Of Main Street and My Mind
living life on the back-burner
because you asked me for a ride
I drag speed so I show up on time

I drive an automatic
S U V
All the soccer moms can
Roll with me
But since you asked me for a ride
I drag speed so I show up on time

Here at last
Buying gas
Going nowhere fast

We’ll be fine
As we race towards our destination
I’ll just drive
But you're breaking my concentration
GO!

I was on the fence
You were in the backseat
Behind me and my friend
As we cruise down the concrete
And my brakes squeak really loud
The broken CD player kinda’ drowns them out
And then I put all of the
Windows down
Because just mine would make that awful sound
I know you asked me for a ride
I hope you don’t mind as I
drag-speed down the b-line

CHORUS
I was in the backseat writing with my hands
I was writing backwards
so they could understand
Didn’t want to get in trouble
Get in trouble with my dad
Just waiting in the backseat
writing with my hands

In the backseat with a seatbelt against your shoulder blade
I put this Chevy into 4-wheel-drive and take the long way home

CHORUS
