Lyrics
HOW THE FUTURE USED TO LOOK
I WAS HELLBENT ON A HELLBOUND ROAD
EYES CLOSED, SPEEDIN' OUT OF CONTROL
LORD, I WAS TAKIN' THE DEVIL ON
THOUGHT I COULD DO NO WRONG
DIDN'T THINK TWICE 'BOUT WHO I HURT
LOVE WAS JUST A FOUR-LETTER WORD
BAR TO BAR, TOWN TO TOWN
LIVIN' FAST, NOT SLOWIN' DOWN
DRINKIN', GAMBLIN', WOMANIZIN'
FIGHTIN', CHEATIN', STEALIN', LYIN'
RUNNIN' AWAY AT A BLINDING SPEED
MY PAST WAS CATCHIN' UP WITH ME
BREAKIN' EVERY GOOD RULE IN THE BOOK
THAT'S HOW THE FUTURE USED TO LOOK
DRIVIN' NINETY ON A TWO-LANE BRIDGE
WRONG WAY BUT DIDN'T NOTICE IT
I WAS REACHIN' FOR A FIFTH OF JACK
THAT HAD JUST ROLLED OFF MY LAP
SCHOOL BUS WITH A BUNCH OF KIDS
CRANK THE WHEEL, TIRES SKID
SO CLOSE THAT I COULD SEE
LITTLE FACES AS THEY SCREAMED
(INSTRUMENTAL)
I JUST MISSED THE BUS THAT NIGHT
SAW MY LIFE IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT
THANK GOD FOR A SECOND CHANCE
TO LET GO OF THAT WRETCHED MAN
(REPEAT CHORUS)
I WAS HELLBENT ON A HELLBOUND ROAD
EYES CLOSED, SPEEDIN' OUT OF CONTROL
