Turnpike at night
All through the baby's sleeping
And at 3 AM, alone we're creeping
Got my hand on the wheel
My foot on the pedal
Hear tone wired, metal on metal
The wind it was howling
The radio was blowing
We get out of Jersey
With nobody knowing
Headlights on the highway
Shining on gravestones
With wheels rolling by
Are we going where they're going
Chorus:
And I wanna be the one
To take that stand
But I'm always runnin'
Blood on my hands
If you asked me to
Wouldn't I love
Rise above
Now it's scattered like a street race
The cops rushed in
Honey gotta get back now to where we've been
Look at us laughin'
Wipin' away the tears
Why did it always comin' down
To love and the fear
(Chorus)
Hmm...
Meet me in the church and cemetery
I'm lookin' to lighten this burden we carry
Lookin' for the fire that never dies
Why the brightest thing I found
Is burnin' behind your eyes
All through the baby's sleeping
And at 3 AM, alone we're creeping
Got my hand on the wheel
My foot on the pedal
Hear tone wired, metal on metal
The wind it was howling
The radio was blowing
We get out of Jersey
With nobody knowing
Headlights on the highway
Shining on gravestones
With wheels rolling by
Are we going where they're going
Chorus:
And I wanna be the one
To take that stand
But I'm always runnin'
Blood on my hands
If you asked me to
Wouldn't I love
Rise above
Now it's scattered like a street race
The cops rushed in
Honey gotta get back now to where we've been
Look at us laughin'
Wipin' away the tears
Why did it always comin' down
To love and the fear
(Chorus)
Hmm...
Meet me in the church and cemetery
I'm lookin' to lighten this burden we carry
Lookin' for the fire that never dies
Why the brightest thing I found
Is burnin' behind your eyes
