I was a silent kid Would spend most of my days alone Drawing in my room Until I turned sixteen I got to know a brand new friend And everything was changing Roaming down the rails Putting coins on the track Watching trains run them over The burning heat in my hand From a king turned flat And a feeling of power Stealing spraycans from the store Writing bad words on the brewery wall Hotwiring cars every night Driving and laughing 'Til the sun went up It could have been a brilliant career If I had only hung in there And learned every trick from my peers A modern day Al Capone Minus the violence For a summer such a long time ago I am a dad now I'm doin fine No more adventures No more livin' on the line But sometimes when I see an unlocked car My horns are growin' I see my myself gettin' into it Don't care where I'm going Just drive away Drive away Ta-da-da-da-da! Oh-la-la-la-la Rat-a-ta-ta
