Lyrics

Intro

Oh oh

Oh no

Failed again

Chorus

White smoke rising from the hood of my pride

Stalled out sideways while you walked on by

Now I am watching you leave in that suv

Watching you leave like you do not see me

He is seven foot nine in a chrome machine

I am just a ghost in a broke routine

Yeah I am a ghost in a broke routine

Verse 1

Floorboard pinned

Rubber never spun

My motor quit before I had my fun

Pop the latch and watch the orange flame

Checking for a hero but I felt the shame

He reached down from a seat so high

Blocking out the summer sun inside the sky

You hopped in and you did not look back

Fading out of view in a brand new black

Chorus

White smoke rising from the hood of my pride

Stalled out sideways while you walked on by

Now I am watching you leave in that suv

Watching you leave like you do not see me

He is seven foot nine in a chrome machine

I am just a ghost in a broke routine

Verse 2

Sold the coupe for a two-wheel dream

Paint so bright it almost starts to scream

I saw you walking near the park gate

Thought I would show you that I was not late

But the throttle slipped

The tires flipped

The leash ripped

Brown fur tumbled right beneath my wheel

Everything stopped and everything got real

I looked at your face and I saw the end

Bridge

Maybe I am cursed

Maybe I am worse

Maybe I should just quit

Just quit it

Give it up now

Just give it up

Chorus

White smoke rising from the hood of my pride

Stalled out sideways while you walked on by

Now I am watching you leave in that suv

Watching you leave like you do not see me

He is seven foot nine in a chrome machine

I am just a ghost in a broke routine

Yeah I am a ghost in a broke routine

Post-Chorus

Broken wheels

Broken heels

How it feels

Oh oh

How it feels
