Pit My Life

It's half past one in the morning
  you know I can't see straight
Fuzz buster's running green, lord
  you know I'm tempting fate
I'm going twice the limit as I hug that broken line
And pit my life against the highway one more time
I pit my life against the highway one more time

Two lanes running clear
  but there's a line of cars ahead
Going forty miles an hour
  'hind some rusty old flatbed
Solid line goes on forever, punch it into overdrive
And pit my life against the highway one more time
I pit my life against the highway one more time

refrain:
One more time I pit my life
One more time I take the chance
You know some people like to party
Others like to dance
But I choose the open road
Lord the highway calls my name
Punch a hole through the night
Burning hotter than a flame

I come upon some small town
  in the middle of this night
Bunch of shut down stores
  and a blinkin' yellow light
I go roaring down main street in the glory of my prime
And pit my life against the highway one more time
I pit my life against the highway one more time

(refrain:)

(First verse repeats)
