Intro
(Inhale)
Yeah
Verse 1
Seventeen years old with a stolen six-string
Drove my daddy's Chevy through a barbed wire fence
Never looked back in the rearview mirror
Just the taste of trouble and the engine's hymn
Pawned my class ring for a tank of gas
Told my mama I'd be home by class
But I took that curve with a middle finger raised
Let the gravel sing my eulogy
Chorus
I'm burnin' the map
Tearin' down every sign
Throw my last dime
At the county line
They can call me crazy
Call me gone
But I'd rather crash than crawl along
Guitar Solo
Verse 2
Slept in a ditch with a bottle of rotgut
Woke up with the sunrise bleedin' through the rust
Got a scar on my knuckle from a fist I threw
At a man who told me what I ought to do
No insurance no ID no plan
Just a wild-eyed kid with a busted van
And if the road runs out before I do
Tell the devil I said thanks for the view
Chorus
I'm burnin' the map
Tearin' down every sign
Throw my last dime
At the county line
They can call me crazy
Call me gone
But I'd rather crash than crawl along
Breakdown
Rip the rearview off the glass
Past ain't nothin' but broken glass
One foot heavy one foot free
This is what it means to be
Chorus
I'm burnin' the map
Tearin' down every sign
Throw my last dime
At the county line
They can call me crazy
Call me gone
But I'd rather crash than crawl along
