Speed of a Fool

Couldn't tell me nothing

Had to learn it on my own

On the restless side of seventeen

The day that i left home

Screaming down that highway

With a passion to break any rules

I went crashing at the speed of a fool

She was serving all night coffee

At a san antonio cafe

She was headed nowhere

I was headed her way

With a trusting soul and a naive heart

There was nothing i could do

So i went crashing , at the speed of a fool

(chorus)

You're either born for holding back

Or bound for letting go

So i throw caution to the wind

Wherever it may blow

It's the only way i know

I go crashing at the speed of a fool

Got a hunger for that highway

I know will never end

Lord i can't help what i'm not

And won't change what i am

Til' the roll is called up yonder

To my own self i'll be true

And go crashing at the speed of a fool

(repeat chorus)

(tag)

I go crashing at the speed of a fool
