Ready?
Yeah
Speed limit's 55, feels like I'm going 20
I'm just letting it set in
No one works harder for your success than you
Speed limit's 55, some of us going 80
They're the ones who make it
They're the ones who beat you to the prize
And you get mad
When you see someone with less talent or skill
Up there higher on the hill
But you know why
They got stronger legs than you
They've been running for longer too
Or maybe they're just faster
They know that time matters
And that time is passing
So the speed limit's 55, but you're afraid of crashing
Doing your best to ration all of your luck
Are you just fashion to them?
Speed limit's 55 and you're afraid of failing
Your hazard lights are flashing
You can't get no relaxing
Singing, "Motel, motel, take me in
I'm so scared of running out of gas
In the middle of nowhere with no one
I need a bite to eat and a bed to sleep
And a bath to scrub my feet
Cause I ain't clean
And I'm so hungry for my dreams"
"They're up there on the road son
You gotta keep on going"
So I did
