Hydroplane

Road tripping in a downpour Turned the tunes load enough to drown out the rainy drums And the water beat down on my work horse Hundred fifty thousand miles tucked under its serpentine belt And just enough water Got up under my treads And in the blink of of an eye it was out of my hands Now I'm swerving Heading for the median Yelled out just about as fast as I can Yeah and I braced as I bounced back across the lanes I was spinning 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 Sometimes our lives will hydroplane Cause too much of a good thing built up Can drive anybody insane If we just slowed down We wouldn't even need our brakes We'd coast along together Without hurting you And I braced as I bounced back across the lanes I was spinning 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 have been the one that you read about So will I learn Will I use this marker as a turnaround To tell all the ones I love That I'm only gonna love them more That I'm only gonna love them more from now on Don't look at the clock for too long Or you lose all the second you own Yeah you lose all the second you own
