Turnpike Troubadours – Pipe Bomb Dream lyrics

Tonight we're fighting in a losing war
Don't even remember what we're fighting for
Running on hope and gasoline
Got a real bad feeling it's a pipe bomb dream

Well I did a little something for the brave and free
Now you gonna make a law against a boy like me
Took a few too many liberties
It's a hard ass lesson to learn
Roll the dice just one more turn
Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn

Driving all night with a steady hand
Bringing heavy weight home from the promised land
Oklahoma City by the morning sun
I ain't never met a problem that I can't outrun

I did a little something for the brave and free
Now you gonna make a law against a boy like me
Took a few too many liberties
It's a hard ass lesson to learn
But I roll the dice just one more turn
Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn

Well I was riding high when the lights came on
I was 45 miles from the county line
Hit a jackpot once went back for more
From an old pipe dream to a cell block floor

Say it's alright but you know it's not
And you're breaking up laws and you wind up caught
It's everything or all for naught
It's a hard ass lesson to learn
Roll the dice just one more time
Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn
Too heavy on the pedal and you crash and burn
