lyrics

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
