"Flirtin' With Disaster" lyrics
"Flirtin' With Disaster"
I'm traveling down the road and I'm flirting with disaster
I got the pedal to the floor, my life is running faster
I'm out of money, out of hope, it looks like self-destruction
Well, how much more can you take with all of this corruption?
We're flirting with disaster, ya'll know what I mean
And the way we run our lives it makes no sense to me
I don't know about yourself or what you want to be, yeah
When we gamble with our time we choose our destiny
I'm traveling down that lonesome road
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load
Yeah, I've tried to turn my head away
Feel about the same most every day
You know what I'm talking about
Speeding down the fast lane and honey we're playing from town to town
The boys and I been burning it up, can't seem to slow it down
I got the pedal to the floor our lives are running faster
We got our sights set straight ahead but I ain't sure what we're after
We're flirting with disaster, ya'll damn sure know what I mean
And the way we run our lives it makes no sense to me
I don't know about yourself or what you plan to be, yeah
When we gamble with our time we choose our destiny
Yeah, we're traveling down that lonesome road
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load
Though I try to turn my head away
I'm flirting with disaster every day
And you are too baby
It ain't for everybody
Oh come on man
Flirting with disaster, babe, y'all know what I mean
You know the way we run our lives, it makes no sense to me
I don't know about yourself or what you plan to be
When we gamble with our time, we choose our destiny
Yeah, we're traveling down this lonesome road
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load
Though I try to turn my head away ba ba ba yeah
We're flirting with disaster every day
