Verse 1
I recall my so called misspent youth
Seems more worthwhile every single day
Crusing Van Nuys and acting so uncouth
All the joys of running away
There was no speed limit on the Nevada state line
The air was red wine on those top down nights
You and me my old roller skate
And the common sense to know our rights
Chorus
Sweet old racing car of mine roaring down that broken line
I've never been so much alive
Too fast for comfort, too low to fly, too young to die
Verse 2
They say a man can't love a material thing
With aluminum skin and caste iron soul
They never heard your engine sing
There is peace with losing control
With Sticky Fingers turned up real loud
God, we were flirting with catastrophe
We were doing everything that's not allowed
Life didn't come with a warranty for you and me
Chorus
Sweet old racing car of mine roaring down that broken line
I've never been so much alive
Too fast for comfort, too low to fly, too young to die
(Solo)
Verse 3
There is peace in losing control
When I die I don't want to go to heaven
I just want to drive my beautiful machine
Up north on some Sonoma county road
With Jimmy Dean and Steve McQueen, all the boys be singing
Chorus
Sweet old racing car of mine roaring down that broken line
I've never felt so much alive
Too fast for comfort, too low to fly, too young to die
