To Chase a Dream

My body is driven to the extreme, chasing pipe dreams, 160 down the open highway.
My mind follows suit, stumbling along taking pit stops, playing catch up with my thoughts.
I was on empty coming into the city lights, but I kept my foot down hard on the pedal.
I wanted to achieve the glitz, the glamour and the fame of coming in number one.
My feelings were twisted like the mangled metal, I seen in the car wrecks, I passed from my past.
I had people to see, places to be, and things to do, yet all I was doing was going in circles.
I was chasing the elusive reality of having it all, meanwhile going down in a fury of flames.
I wanted to have my beauty beside me, my family behind me, and my friends along for the ride.
I took them all on the trip of a lifetime and went on the longest detour that led me straight to hell.
If I were a fallen angel from heaven, you would surely know, by the same wicked smile I keep.
I see the trail of dust whip into a dirt devil and I know I am on my way to knowing where I am going.
My body is driven to the extreme, chasing pipe dreams, 160 down the open highway.
My mind follows suit, stumbling along taking pit stops, playing catch up with my thoughts.
I have no one beside me, my family safe at home, and my friends are there if i need them.
I was on empty coming into the city lights, and this time I pulled over and did myself a favor.
I realized what it means to have it all... meanwhile leaving a legacy that ONLY a dare devil can follow.
