I spent the last six months
Getting parts from friends, trading where I can
Got the gasket kits, had the heads machined
She’d be running like a dream
You’d be leaning over me
Asking for the keys, covered in grease
I’d stand back in that shed, with the corrugated roof
For a moment of truth
Turn that motor over, let’s get out of here
This thing’s a ticket out, baby we can disappear
Into the night, pass some city limit signs
Put it in drive, baby let’s ride
Let’s ride
you and me made on and off, flickering in dark
Like an old street light
Like a moth to a flame, you drew me back in, and it felt so right
I listened to the headers, rumble like a storm
As we’re trying to stay warm
two kids and a road stop, itchy feet and young
Gotta keep moving on
Turn that motor over, let’s get out of here
This thing’s a ticket out, baby we can disappear
Into the night, pass some city limit signs
Put it in drive, baby let’s ride
Let’s ride
Put it in drive, baby let’s ride
Let’s ride
Turn that motor over, let’s get out of here
This thing’s a ticket out, baby we can disappear
Into the night, pass some city limit signs
Put it in drive, baby let’s ride
Turn that motor over, let’s get out of here
This thing’s a ticket out, baby we can disappear
Find something better than the life we left behind
Don’t look back, baby let’s ride
I’m on your side, baby let’s ride
