Eddie Lightner - No Brakes

No Brakes (Eddie Lightner)
It was four twenty on a Thursday
On the Eastern side of town
I was headed home from a dealer friend
That was helping me with the git-down
When someone stopped suddenly
In the canyon down below
That’s when I noticed I had no brakes
Had to down-shift to try to slow

I’m rollin’ with no brakes
I’m surely gonna die
I’m rollin’ with no brakes
And I’m feelin’ really high
Rollin’ with no brakes
To the canyon down below
Rollin’ with no brakes
And feelin’ outta control

I held tight for the first one
And I squeezed right in between
Then I wheeled left, all so hard
Tryin’ to escape the scene
Then I straightened her up
To the middle lane
To the narrow open road
Praisin’ God up above
To guide me safely home

I’m rollin’ with no brakes
I’m surely gonna die
I’m rollin’ with no brakes
And I’m feelin’ really high
Rollin’ with no brakes
To the canyon down below
Rollin’ with no brakes
And feelin’ outta control

Shaken by near tragedy
And happy to be alive
Huggin’ all my loved ones and friends
And grateful to survive
I’ll never forget what happened that day
In the canyon down below
And I’ll be checking the brakes
Before the next time we go


I’m rollin’ with no brakes
I’m surely gonna die
I’m rollin’ with no brakes
And I’m feelin’ really high
Rollin’ with no brakes
To the canyon down below
Rollin’ with no brakes
And feelin’ outta control
