| |
| - | <p>I broke free on a Saturday morning.
| |
| - | <br />I put the pedal to the floor.
| |
| - | <br />Headed north on Mills Avenue,
| |
| - | <br />and listened to the engine roar.</p>
| |
| - | <p>My broken house behind me and good things ahead,
| |
| - | <br />A girl named Cathy wants a little of my time.
| |
| - | <br />Six cylinders underneath the hood crashing and kicking,
| |
| - | <br />ahhh, listen to the engine whine.</p>
| |
| - | <p>I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me.
| |
| - | <br />I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me.</p>
| |
| - | <p>I played video games in a drunken haze
| |
| - | <br />I was seventeen years young.
| |
| - | <br />Hurt my knuckles punching the machines,
| |
| - | <br />the taste of scotch rich on my tongue.</p>
| |
| - | <p>And then Cathy showed up and we hung out,
| |
| - | <br />trading swigs from the bottle, all bitter and clean,
| |
| - | <br />locking eyes, holding hands,
| |
| - | <br />twin high maintenance machines.</p>
| |
| - | <p>I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me.
| |
| - | <br />I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me.</p>
| |
| - | <p>I drove home in the California dusk.
| |
| - | <br />I could feel the alcohol inside of me hum.
| |
| - | <br />Picture the look on my stepfather's face,
| |
| - | <br />ready for the bad things to come.</p>
| |
| - | <p>I downshifted as I pulled into the driveway,
| |
| - | <br />the motor screaming out, stuck in second gear.
| |
| - | <br />The scene ends badly, as you might imagine,
| |
| - | <br />in a cavalcade of anger and fear.</p>
| |
| - | <p>There will be feasting and dancing in Jerusalem next year.</p>
| |
| - | <p>I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me.
| |
| - | <br />I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me.</p>
