No Brakes Tonight (Better Cut)

Got a receipt on the dash from a town I left Don’t remember payin’, just know I went Coffee spill stain on the passenger seat Same place you used to fall asleep

Phone on silent since yesterday noon If it’s you callin’, I ain’t comin’ soon Sign said “Slow” — I let it pass Ain’t nothin’ left worth drivin’ back

Hands don’t shake when I’m in this lane Only time I don’t feel a thing

No brakes tonight — don’t need ‘em now I crossed that line, I don’t know how If I stop, it all comes clear And I ain’t ready to see that here

No brakes tonight — let it ride Got your voice on the passenger side Sayin’ slow down, sayin’ stay But I keep puttin’ miles away

Passed that diner we used to hit Neon still buzzin’, same old shit I almost pulled in, I swear I did But I kept goin’ like I always did

There’s a shirt in the back I never threw Smells like smoke… still smells like you I tell myself it’s just the air But I don’t roll that window down out there

Road don’t judge, road don’t ask That’s why I keep my foot on gas

No brakes tonight — don’t need ‘em now I crossed that line, I don’t know how If I stop, it all comes clear And I ain’t ready to see that here

No brakes tonight — let it ride Got your voice on the passenger side Sayin’ slow down, sayin’ stay But I keep puttin’ miles away

I ain’t drunk, I ain’t lost, I just don’t wanna feel Every mile I put down makes it less real You were right, yeah maybe… I don’t know All I know is I can’t go slow

Got your name in my head like a worn-out line Comes back clearer every county sign So I press that pedal, drown it out That’s what this runnin’s all about

No brakes tonight — hear that sound That’s me not turnin’ around No clean end, no good goodbye Just one long road and a reason to drive

No brakes tonight — burn it through Every mile gets me past you If I break, it won’t be here So I keep goin’ — disappear
