You get in your Shiny Car
In the middle of the night
And wonder where you’re going
Where are you going?
You get in your foreign car
Every single night
And the wheels start turning
But there’s no returning

I want to see how fast you go
You’re gonna chase that neon light
You’re gonna flash those head lights on
Nipping at the heels of the daylight
Standing still
In slow motion at a green light

You get in your Shiny Car
When the dust settles slow
You wonder where your head is
You always forget it
You get in your foreign car
The American Dream
It didn’t get you nowhere
So you just keep going

I want to see how fast you go
You’re gonna chase that neon light
You’re gonna flash those head lights on
Nipping at the heels of the good life
Standing still
In slow motion at a green light
