lyrics

johnny takes the metro home from the city to the suburbs in the summer after dark when it’s cold late at night he stumbles down the aisle in his high-class 3-piece suit he’s drinking coors and completely out of his mind i’m feeling good tonight spending a night out on the town going for a ride this is the end of the line johnny needs an extra push when his mundane life has got him down so he went to buy a muscle car with the money he’s been saving he says it helps to keep him sane and he likes how it makes him feel real tough he likes to drive it fast i’m feeling good tonight spending a night out on the town going for a ride this is the end of the line do you ever think about how it could all end when forces collide
