LYRIC FOR SALE

By Chuck S. Morgan

[Verse 1]
I drive fast and ride hard
Hot rod growlin’, horse kickin’ sparks off the gravel
Sometimes it’s just me, wind slappin’ my face
Too fast for the world to grab hold of my shadow
Mama and Daddy stand on the porch, heads shakin’
Watchin’ me tear past like a tall Texas twister
But when the revs slow down and the dust settles
I pull over, boots in the dirt
And let the world catch up
Turns out it ain’t me that’s slow
It’s life that’s quicker than I thought

[Chorus]
Fun is fast and fast is hard
Slow is not for me
Not right now
But, someday, someday I will
When I’m older and
Faster gets harder
Country punk slow down

[Verse 2]
Love moves like a slow river
Hate hits like a match on gasoline
I gotta ease off the throttle
Let the good things pull up beside me
Hey woman
Slide into the passenger seat
Race with me through the neon nights
Fast is a thrill in my hot rod
Or in the saddle with the sun burnin’ down
But remember, fast travel is short
Slow down and you go longer

[Verse 3]
Ain’t that just the way of things
Life buckin’, roads twistin’, skies changin’
One day I’ll trot steady
Find a love that keeps pace with me
I’ll slow my world down
Watch the sun melt into the hills
Make sure life don’t slip past my saddle
What a ride it’s been
A country punk, chasin’ the horizon

[Chorus]
Fun is fast and fast is hard
Slow is not for me
Not right now
But, someday, someday I will
When I’m older and
Faster gets harder
Country punk slow down

[Bridge]
No troubles now
But darn close
These punk eyes
Still see life at this speed
I can still count the fence posts
They’re not a blur

[Outro]
Country punk havin’ fun
Borderline mischief-maker
Quick to love and leave
Yeah, fast and hard
Cars and horses
Life’s a breeze with a wind in your face
Livin’ it and lovin’ it
You damn country punk
