Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, alright

Wake up in the morning, in the middle of the night
Pass by the mirror, make sure I'm lookin' right, uh
Tattoo it on my arm, on the back of your neck
In between your legs baby, so you won't forget me, uh

Don't you worry, it's gonna be alright
I'm in a hurry, I'm gonna drive all night
Be there in the morning, you can bet your ass
I got both hands on the wheel and my big foot on the gas, uh

Well uh, got houses of the holy, on the box
I got it all cranked up 'cause, yeah that shit rocks, uh
Gotta roll down the window, things are getting all hot
I'm runnin' out of gas baby I gotta stop, well

Don't you worry, it's gonna be alright
I'm in a hurry, I'm gonna drive all night yeah
Be there in the morning, you can bet your ass
I got both hands on the wheel and my big foot on the gas, yeah

Don't you worry baby
I got my big foot on the gas

Well, got my imaginations, runnin' wild
Things I think about I say whoa child
I'm all by myself, ah I crackin' up
Better get some rest girl, I'm all pumped up

Don't you worry, I'm gonna be alright
Baby I'm in a hurry, I'm gonna drive all night
Be there in the morning and you can bet your ass
I got both hands on the wheel, and my big foot on the gas yeah

Right there
I got my big foot on the gas, whoo
Are you ready baby?
Big foot on the gas,




Yeah, oh
Yeah
