Pipe Bomb Dream - Turnpike Troubadours

Tonight we’re fighting in a losing war

Don’t even remember what we’re fighting for

Running on hope and gasoline

Got a real bad feeling it’s a pipe bomb dream

Well I did a little something for the brave and free

Now you gonna make a law against a boy like me

Took a few too many liberties

It’s a hard ass lesson to learn

Roll the dice just one more turn

Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn

Driving all night with a steady hand

Bringing a heavy rig home from the promised land

Oklahoma City by the morning sun

I ain’t never met a problem that I can’t outrun

I did a little something for the brave and free

Now you gonna make a law against a boy like me

Took a few too many liberties

It’s a hard ass lesson to learn

But I roll the dice just one more turn

Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn

Well I was riding high when the lights came on

I was 45 miles from the county line

Hit a jackpot once went back for more

From an old pipe dream to a cell block floor

Say it’s alright but you know it’s not

If you break enough laws, then you wind up caught

It’s everything or all for naught

It’s a hard ass lesson to learn

But I roll the dice just one more time

Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn

Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn
