Blow out at 80 miles per hour

 

 

Driving back from Glasgow in a blue Ford Escort
head still fuzzy from last night’s beer
playing “I Spy” to relieve the boredom
last night’s gig ringing in my ear

One minute I was feeling calm
The next second I had to raise the alarm

Blow out… at 80 miles per hour

The car swerves left and the car swerves right
I held tight but my knuckles were white
I didn’t see my life flash before me
But I saw other cars flashing before me

One minute I was feeling calm
The next second I had to race you home

Blow out… at 80 miles per hour

Next time I think I’m gonna take a train

One minute I was feeling calm
The next second I had to race you home

Blow out… at 80 miles per hour
