Lyrics

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
