lyrics

Headed downtown
where the conversation turned sour down
to the condensation on the rearview mirror
holding the law in our hands

We were blasting Bruce Springsteen
as our poet laureate
casting our bets
on our final showing
taking it all to the end

Couldn't be further from the truth
that the authorities preach to you
all of the things they say
are make believe

Man we were only seventeen
with those teenage fantasies
buying marijuana
from undercover police

Drive a little faster down this street
live until the day no longer sleeps

Hurry man they're coming
man we're gonna be seen
yeah, we wanna be seen

Dollar bills in our hands
on the wheel
driving ninety by a gasoline stand

We were blasting Bruce Springsteen
as our poet laureate
listening to the gospel
didn't even know it
holding the law
in our hands

Couldn't be further from the truth
that the authorities preach to you
all of the things they say
are make believe

Didn't know what we could believe
except the sounds of the police
fuck it man
the band sounds good tonight

Drive a little faster down this street
live until the day no longer sleeps

The lights up ahead say casinos are coming
the border's a reference to all those songs
we were blasting Bruce Springsteen as our poet laureate
casting our bets on our final showing
taking it all
to the end

Man we were only seventeen
we were only buying weed
catching up with all the outlaws
in our dreams

Drive a little faster down this street
live until the day no longer sleeps
