Over the River

The engine’s alight and my blood pulses red,
The axles all rock like the beat through my head.
Tracing through red lights like I’m gonna miss her,
Under the bridges and over the river.

Flying down back streets I see flashing lights,
They’re rounding the corners, I’m chasing the night.
I look to the back seat to check on the goods,
We’re leaving the city, I race through the woods.

A cry from behind me, my partner complains,
I say “Don’t you worry, I’ll take all the blame”.
I step on the gas ‘cause we’re going too slow,
Thanksgiving to grandmother’s house we all go.
