Couldn't tell me nothing Had to learn it on my own On the restless side of seventeen The day that I left home Screaming down that highway With a passion to break any rules I went crashing at the speed of a fool
She was serving all night coffee At a san antonio cafe She was headed nowhere I was headed her way With a trusting soul and a naive heart There was nothing I could do So I went crashing , at the speed of a fool
(chorus) You're either born for holding back Or bound for letting go So I throw caution to the wind Wherever it may blow It's the only way I know I go crashing at the speed of a fool
Got a hunger for that highway I know will never end Lord I can't help what I'm not And won't change what I am Til' the roll is called up yonder To my own self I'll be true And go crashing at the speed of a fool
(repeat chorus) (tag) I go crashing at the speed of a fool
