Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't no room for stalling room time for living in the moment
Slip inside the rhythm let's get 'em, yahm
Tell the world this is what I call living as I ride in my car and I'm
Blinded by the lights that were on the quest
We're running off in the night
Got some girlies and we're out for love
