Lyrics:

Couldn't tell me nothingHad to learn it on my ownOn the restless side of seventeenThe Day that I left homeScreaming down that highwayWith a passion to break any rulesI went crashing at the speed of a foolShe was serving all night coffeeat a San Antonio CafeShe was headed nowhereI was headed her wayWith a trusting soul and a naive heartthere was nothing I could doSo I went crashing , at the speed of a fool(Chorus)You're either born for holding backor bound for letting goSo I throw caution to the windWherever it may blowIt's the only way I knowI go crashing at the speed of a foolGot a hunger for that highwayI know will never endLord I can't help what I'm notand won't change what I amTil' the roll is called up yonderTo my own self I'll be trueand go crashing at the speed of a fool(Repeat Chorus)(Tag)I go crashing at the speed of a fool
