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
