From going too far

From going too fast

Spinning my wheels

Heading down hill just like a heart attack.

There's nothing left to smoke

Ain't nothing left to drink

I ain't ever been much for swimming in here

But I sure know how to sink.

There's gasoline all over this ground

I strike a match and drop it down

I need someone to hold me back

I need someone to hold me back.

From feeling like hell

To falling like rain

Betting it all on black and getting stuck on a track

And getting hit by a train.

Where I'm headed, babe, I'll be hard to reach

Got no one in my shotgun seat

I need someone to hold me back

I need someone to hold me back.

Been gone for days, been gone for miles

When I get home to kiss your smile

I'll need someone to hold me back

I'll need someone to hold me back

I'll need someone to hold me back.
