Lyrics:

Couldn't tell me nothing Had to learn it on my own On the restless side of seventeen The Day that I left home Screaming down that highway With a passion to break any rules I went crashing at the speed of a fool She was serving all night coffee at a San Antonio Cafe She was headed nowhere I was headed her way With a trusting soul and a naive heart there was nothing I could do So I went crashing , at the speed of a fool (Chorus) You're either born for holding back or bound for letting go So I throw caution to the wind Wherever it may blow It's the only way I know I go crashing at the speed of a fool Got a hunger for that highway I know will never end Lord I can't help what I'm not and won't change what I am Til' the roll is called up yonder To my own self I'll be true and go crashing at the speed of a fool (Repeat Chorus) (Tag) I go crashing at the speed of a fool
