Flirtin’ With Disaster
by Molly Hatchet
I’m travelin’ down the road,
I’m flirtin’ with disaster.
I’ve got the pedal to the floor,
My life is running faster.
I’m out of money, I’m out of hope,
Looks like self-destruction.
Well, how much more can we take,
With all of this corruption.
Been flirtin’ with disaster,
Y’all know what I mean.
And the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don’t know about yourself or
What you want to be, yeah,
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.
I’m travelin’ down that lonesome road,
Feels like I’m draggin’ a heavy load.
Yeah, I’ve tried to turn my head away,
Feel about the same most every day.
Speeding down the fast lane,
Playin’ from town to town.
They boys and I been burnin’ it up,
Can’t seem to slow it down.
I’ve got the pedal to the floor,
Our lives are runnin’ faster.
Got our sight set straight ahead,
But ain’t sure what we’re after.
Been flirtin’ with disaster,
Y’all damn sure know what I mean.
You know the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don’t know about yourself or
What you want to be, yeah,
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.
Yeah, we’re travelin’ down that lonesome road,
Feels like I’m draggin’ a heavy load.
Don’t try to turn my head away,
I’m flirtin’ with disaster every day.
Flirtin’ with disaster, baby,
Y’all know what I mean.
You know the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don’t know about yourself or
What you want to be, yeah,
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.
Yeah, we’re travelin’ down that lonesome road,
Feels like I’m draggin’ a heavy load.
Don’t try to turn my head away,
I’m flirtin’ with disaster every day.
