1. I live my life one quarter mile at a time. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free
2.Life's simple, you make choices and you don't look back
3.Ride or die


All the same day by day

Just following the steps as they lay

Not a single questioned is asked

All feelings remaining masked 

We say we have minds of our own

Yet we walk around each a mindless drone

An endless game of follow the leader

Working to constantly pay the meter

From sun up to sun down

Simply trying to survive to the next round

Instead of happiness, were all content

As long as we make it by, no one will exempt

What happened to our goals

What about our roles

The difference between parent and child

What's wrong with being careless and wild

What if we want to be free

To where do we flee

Where do the geese go

If your aware please let me know

For in this place I dont belong 

They all tell me I am wrong

If this is their idea of right

I'll be gone and leave them in the dust of the night.
