Speed of a Fool - Tracy Lawrence

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 going 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

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 I 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

I go crashing at the speed of a fool
