You got the gas I got the matches We gonna turn this town to ashes Cause they ain't never seen nothing like us Ain't heard loud till we turn it up I got the wild You got the crazy You know that's why I love you baby Cause your motor runs just as fast as mine Pedal to the metal, keep your throttle down all night And we only get one life Ain't scared to ride this train Make a few marks, leave a few stains Might slam just a little too hard Might take it just a little too far Might burn out like a firework, Like a shooting star across the sky And we may not be around in 20 years But they're sure gonna know we were here Yeah, they're sure gonna know we were here People talk girl You know damn well When they got a good tale to tell Let's give them something they ain't never seen A little rated R redneck dream Let's blaze a trail through the dirty south Or give them something they can talk about A little story that they won't forget Long after we ride off into the sunset Baby, cause we ain't dead yet, baby Ain't scared to ride this train Make a few marks, leave a few stains Might slam just a little too hard Might take it just a little too far Might burn out like a firework, Like a shooting star across the sky Yeah we may not be around in 20 years But they're sure gonna know we were here We only get one chance around This runaway roller coaster train And it ain't slowing down So baby let go and remember our name Ain't scared to ride this train Make a few marks, leave a few stains Might slam just a little too hard Might take it just a little too far Might burn out like a firework, Like a shooting star across the sky Yeah we may not be around in 20 years Oh, we may not be around in 20 years But they're sure gonna know we were here Yeah, they're sure gonna know we were here
