[Verse 1]
I ran a red light just to see you sooner
I got a speeding ticket from a state trooper
I wasn't gonna be late, but I knew that you were
I had to laugh it off 'cause that's my sense of humor
I got a court date, that's a problem for the future
I stopped off at the station to get ice for the cooler
I was flying and I got what I deserve
A moving violation brought me back down to earth
[Chorus]
Hell bent for leather
Pull yourself together
Waiting for the things
That never seem to come along
Hope it gets bettеr
Rush into forever
Nevеr had the pleasure
'Cause it always seems like something's wrong
[Verse 2]
Changing lanes 'cause I'm afraid I won't have time to merge
Worried more about it before it ever occurred
Calm it down and take it slow is something I gotta learn
Before I know it I'll be lying deep down in the dirt
[Chorus]
Hell bent for leather
Pull yourself together
Waiting for the things
That never seem to come along
Hope it gets better
Rush into forever
Never had the pleasure
'Cause it always seems like something's wrong
[Bridge]
Lonely life
I could've felt
Happier
But I was stressed out
He's running my plate
I watch the ice melt
A reminder to myself
A reminder to myself
A reminder to myself
[Chorus]
(Hell bent for leather)
(Pull yourself together)
Waiting for the things
That never seem to come along
(Hope it gets better)
(Rush into forever)
Never had the pleasure
'Cause it always seems like something's wrong
Hell bent for leather
Pull yourself together
Waiting for the things
That never seem to come along
Hope it gets better
Rush into forever
Never had the pleasure
'Cause it always seems like something's wrong
Hell bent for leather
Pull yourself together
Waiting for the things
That never seem to come along
Hope it gets better
Rush into forever
Never had the pleasure
'Cause it always seems like something's wrong
