No brakes left

Black smoke rising off the county line Boots on gravel, running out of time Sheriff lights bleeding red in the rain I got bad blood burning through my veins Mama said, “Boy, you better slow it down” But I was born with a match in a gasoline town Every behind me’s glowing bright I don’t need forgiveness tonight I hear that devil knocking at my door I just turn the volume up some more I got no brakes left, no way back Heart like thunder on a railroad track Let the whole damn world come chasing me I’d rather die wild than live on my knees No brakes left, no white flag Dust and fire in a black duffel bag If the road runs out, I’ll make my own I came in burning, I’m leaving smoke Neon buzzing in a roadside bar Cheap bourbon burning like a falling star Somebody said I got a price on my head I laughed and bought the whole room another round instead Got scars where better men learned to pray Got a mouth that never learned what not to say If trouble wants me, tell it get in line I’ve been dancing with disaster all my life I hear that devil knocking at my door I tell him, “Brother, what you waiting for?” I got no brakes left, no way back Heart like thunder on a railroad track Let the whole damn world come chasing me I’d rather die wild than live on my knees No brakes left, no white flag Dust and fire in a black duffel bag If the road runs out, I’ll make my own I came in burning, I’m leaving smoke Kick that door Kill those lights Turn that six-string up tonight One more shot One more mile If hell wants me It can wait a while I ain’t looking for heaven I ain’t scared of the fall You can build your fences higher I’ll just ride through them all Every chain they put around me Only taught me how to break I’ve been living on the edge so long The edge is starting to shake I got no brakes left, no way back Heart like thunder on a railroad track Let the whole damn world come chasing me I’d rather die wild than live on my knees No brakes left, no white flag Dust and fire in a black duffel bag When the last light dies and the night turns cold You’ll still see my fire down that road No brakes left No brakes left Let it burn Let it roll No brakes left No way home I came in burning I’m leaving smoke
