Memories and Throttle

I couldn't close my eyes So I'm driving down these back roads trying to ease my racing mind It's another moonless night The only color showing is when the heat lightning strikes And it ain't rained in weeks I'm suffocating in this heat Like a lightning bug trapped inside a bottle Drunk on memories and throttle The window is down but I can't feel a thing Steering wheel reminds me where there used to be a ring Using miles like lovers with their rhythmic hum Keeping time with each and every passing one Lately I ain't been sleeping right Been down this road at least a thousand times But you won't change your mind It's another hard earned lesson in my way Another chance that's blown up in my face Something awful, plain as gospel Drunk on memories and throttle Still I ain't been sleeping right This roads the same each and every time But you still won't change your mind There's not a cloud as far as I can see I'm suffocating in this heat Like a lightning bug trapped inside a bottle It's truly something awful Oh it's plain as gospel Drunk on memories and Throttle
