Verse
A spray painted line on the West end of main street
Up to that night my ’85 had never been beat
Some kid from cross the county got all mouthy
‘Bout his daddy’s new Camaro and it was all gas
No way I coulda known that back tire’d blow out
I’d end up in a field wheels up upside down
When that truck got back running
It was double or nothing
On your mark get set go
Yeah that’s how it goes
Chorus
When the only way you know man is wide ass open
You don’t mean to break things but sometimes they end up broken
And I know it ain’t easy
Your poor heart takes a beating
Putting up with all the hell I raise
But I do everything one way
So till my last day I’m gonna love you
All gas no brakes
Verse
Glad you didn’t listen when your friends called me reckless
Said I was hell on wheels with a cross on a necklace
I’m sure you told ’em all I’ve come around a little bit
But I’m still the kind of dog that ain’t got no quit
Chorus
When the only way you know man is wide ass open
You don’t mean to break things but sometimes they end up broken
And I know it ain’t easy
Your poor heart takes a beating
Putting up with all the hell I raise
But I do everything one way
So till my last day I’m gonna love you
All gas no brakes baby
Bridge
I’m gonna love you pedal to the floor
All I got and more
Burying that needle in the dashboard
Chorus
Cause when the way you know man is wide open
When the only way you know man is wide ass open
You don’t mean to break things but sometimes they end up broken
And I know it ain’t easy
Your poor heart takes a beating
Putting up with all the hell I raise
But I do everything one way
So till my last day I’m gonna love you
All gas no brakes
No brakes baby
