Road trippin' in a downpour

Turn the tunes loud enough to drown out the raining drums

And the water beat down on my workhorse

Hundred fifty thousand miles tucked under its serpentine belt

And just enough water got up under my treads

And in a blink of an eye, it was out of my hands

And now I'm swervin', headed for the median

Head-on just about as fast as I can

And I braced as I bounced back across the lanes

I was spinnin' like a top, but I still made out your face

Why were you the only thing on my mind

When I thought it might be the end?

As I bargained with God, just to let me go on home again

And sometimes, our lives will hydroplane

'Cause too much of a good thing, built-up, good drive anybody insane

If we just slowed down, well, we wouldn't even need our brakes

We'd coast along together, without hurryin'

And I braced as I bounced back across the lanes

I was spinnin' like a top, but I still made out your face

Why were you the only thing on my mind

When I thought it might be the end?

As I bargained with God, just to let me go on home again

It could've been me, I could've been the one that you read about

So will I learn? Will I use this marker as a turnaround?

Tell all the ones I love that I'm only gonna love 'em more

That I'm only gonna love 'em more, from now on

Well, don't look at the clock for too long

Or you'll lose all the seconds you own

Yeah, you'll lose all the seconds you own
