D
Couldn't tell me nothing
       G
Had to learn it on my own
       D                Bm
On the restless side of seventeen
    Em              A
The day that I left home
D
Screaming down that highway
       G                    Bm    Bm/A
With a passion to break any rules
       G        A                 D    G
I went crashin' at the speed of a fool

        D
She was serving all night coffee
     G
at a San Antonio Cafe
D              Bm
She was headed nowhere
      Em        A
I was goin' her way
       D
With a trusting soul and a naive heart
          G               Bm Bm/A
There was nothing I could do
          G         A                 D
So I went crashing, at the speed of a fool

G
You're either born for holding back
   D
or bound for letting go
G
So I throw caution to the wind
     A
Wher ever it may blow
         Bm         A
It's the only way I know
     Em       A                 D
I go crashing at the speed of a fool

[Solo]
      D
Got a hunger for that highway
  G
I know will never end
D                 Bm
Lord I can't help what I'm not
    Em                  A
and won't change what I am
          D
Til' that roll is called up yonder
      G                Bm   Bm/A
To my own self I'll be true
       G        A                 D
And go crashing at the speed of a fool

G
You're either born for holding back
   D
or bound for letting go
G
So I throw caution to the wind
     A
Wher ever it may blow
         Bm         A
It's the only way I know
     Em       A                 D
I go crashing at the speed of a fool

     Em       A                 D
I go crashing at the speed of a fool
