lyrics

Head down, ginger, rolling on the power
Live more in a second than you do in an hour
Blurry vision, thick air
Go a little faster raising every hair
Wait long enough a blink gets you there

Life's lived in a tenth at bonneville
If you're gonna make it the salts the only place you will
Life’s given in a tenth at bonneville
if you're gonna break it heart be still

Face full of dust salt lake shower
Skins too thin better call the tower
Sore head, fire light
I wake up screaming in the middle of the night
Don't need no ticket nerves pay your price

Life's lived in a tenth at bonneville
If you're gonna make it the salts the only place you will
Life’s given in a tenth at bonneville
If you're gonna break it pray the winds be still

Red hot piston running out of power
Whole damn year burnt away in an hour
blurry vision, bar light
have another drink and it'll be alright
Keep pushing on we go again tonight
