Hot Water Music - 69/396 lyrics

He drove a 69/396

With the black stripes on the hood.

It was a rag top- big block

Tear it up monster.

He pushed it as hard as he could.

Past the red road blocks

And highway signs

They meant more than he would know

And when the smoke blew out

From under the hood

Into the night like a haunted soul.

But the weight on his shoulder,

Was so heavy, heavy, heavy,

And all he could do, He would do

To stay above the water line.

Drive it faster, harder,

Longer, farther,

Away from this godamn place.

We're gonna punch a hole

Right through the blue,

And be gone without a trace.

Save nothing, but the story he left behind.

Drive it faster, harder,

Longer, farther,

Away from this godamn place.

We're gonna punch a hole

Right through the blue,

And be gone without a trace.

Save nothing, but the story he left behind.

Bright lights flicker,

They fade out fast,

You can't chase shooting stars.

Always drifting beyond you reach,

And so much farther from where they are.

Drive it faster, harder,

Longer, farther,

Away from this godamn place.

We're gonna punch a hole

Right through the blue,

And be gone without a trace.

Save nothing, but the story he left behind.
