lyrics

I got a taste for the motorway
It lit a fire on the tip of my tongue
It got me shaking in my bony britches
It got me hitching up my socks for the road
No-one takes me serious
A sweet refrain from my ball and chain
Oh, to be serious
My timing's all off

Start up the century and let's go
A broken cycle still maintains
Absent seats and rusted chains
From coast to withering coast to withering coast

What would it take to hit a waterfall
Like a bump in the road
And in every single county
They'd write our names right into the rock
No-one takes me serious
I swing and counter like a ballroom bouncer
Oh, to be serious
My timing's all off

Start up the century and let's go
A broken cycle still maintains
Absent seats and rusted chains
From coast to withering coast to withering coast

And my respect, my respect is so easily won
And my respect, my respect is so easily lost

Start up the century, whoa
Start up the century and let's go
A broken cycle still maintains
Absent seats and rusted chains
From coast to withering coast to withering coast
