A song about an '02 Ford Focus SVT

lyrics

Turn the engine over, listen to her knock,
I can tell this is gonna be the end of us,
But we still gotta couple hundred miles, we gotta go.
Light turns green to the first to the second gear,
To the third to the north and we're outta here.
Pushing her hard and we know we gotta few more hours to go.

Late night, radio on
Flicking cigarettes and driving till dawn.
Pushing lines, limits, and laws
Its a hard way to run but its fun,
Life is too short.
Late night, radio on
Flicking cigarettes and driving till dawn.
Pushing lines, limits, and laws
Its a hard way to run but its fun,
Life is too short.

We hit the freeway
To the forth to the fifth in the passing lane.
Passing cars like they're standing still,
To the fifth to the sixth, pedal down grip the steering wheel.
Pushing her hard, hear the engine thumping,
Keeping time with the rhythm bumping.
I should probably slow down for the life of her,
She's knocking at the door but she's still got some engine power.

Flash forward a couple of hours,
See the county highway exit and thirty more miles.
She keeps a thumping keeps a knocking along,
I keep the pedal pinned and all of the windows down.
Home stretch, almost there,
I see the city lights smell the smoke in the air.
Getting close so we gotta slow down,
From the sixth to the fifth to the fourth till the engine went out.

Sitting on the side of the road,
Waiting out here for a tow,
And all I can do is think about her now.

Late night, radio on
Flicking cigarettes and driving till dawn.
Pushing lines, limits, and laws
Its a hard way to run but its fun,
Life is too short.
Life is too short
Life is too short
Life is too short

Late night, radio on
Flicking cigarettes and driving till dawn.
Pushing lines, limits, and laws
Its a hard way to run but its fun,
Life is too short.
Late night, radio on
Flicking cigarettes and driving till dawn.
Pushing lines, limits, and laws
Its a hard way to run but its fun,
Life is too short.
