Ba ba ba... Sha do do do do...
Ba ba ba... Sha do do do do...
Ba ba ba... Sha do do do do.. ah...

Brucie dreams...
Life's a highway~..
Too many roads...
Bypass my way...
Or they never begin...

Innocence...
Coming to grief...
At the hands of life..
Stinking car thief...
That's my concept of sin...

Does heaven wait...
All heavenly...
Over the next horizon...?

But look at us now..
{Quit driving...}
Some things hurt more
Much more than cars and girls..

Just look at us now..
{Start counting...}
What adds up
The way it did when we were young..?

Just look at us now..
{Quit driving...}
Some things hurt more
Much more than cars and girls..

Life's a drive..
Through a dust bowl...
What's it do
To a young soul...
We are deeply concerned..
Someone stops..
For directions..
Something responds
Deep in our engines
We have all been burned

Will heaven wait
All heavenly
Over the next horizon?

But look at us now..
{Quit driving...}
Some things hurt more
Much more than cars and girls..

Just look at us now..
{Start counting...}
What adds up
The way it did when we were young..?

Just look at us now..
{Quit driving...}
Some things hurt more
Much more than cars and girls..

Ba ba ba... Sha do do do do...
Ba ba ba... Sha do do do do...
Ba ba ba... Sha do do do do.. ah...

Little boy...
Got a hot rod~...
Thinks it makes him
Some kind of new God...
Well this is one race..
He won't win...

'Cause life's no cruise
With a cool chick~..
Too many folks...
Feeling car sick
But it never pulls in..

Brucie's thoughts...
Pretty streamers...
Guess this world...
Needs its dreamers...
May they never wake up...

But look at us now..
{Quit driving...}
Some things hurt more
Much more than cars and girls..

Just look at us now..
{Start counting...}
What adds up
The way it did when we were young..?

Just look at us now..
{Quit driving...}
Some things hurt more
Much more than cars and girls..

Just look at us now..
{Quit driving...}
Some things hurt more
Much more than cars and girls..

Just look at us now..
{Start counting...}
What adds up
The way it did when we were young..?

Just look at us now..
{Quit driving...}
Some things hurt more
Much more than cars and girls..

Ba ba ba... Sha do do do do...
Ba ba ba... Sha do do do do...
Ba ba ba... Sha do do do do.. ah...
