Soft top, hard shoulder
See me running down that line
I can't stop too much older now
Let it run in overtime
Run till it breaks up
Overheats and explodes
Pick up what's left of me
Leave the rest of it way down that road
Soft top, hard shoulder
Soft top, hard shoulder
Step in to the flame
Blue centre, so much colder
Won't be the same again
I'm gonna run till it breaks up
Overheats and explodes
Pick up what's left of me
Leave the rest of it way down that road
Soft top, hard shoulder
