Lyric Flirtin Disaster

Flirtin With Disaster
by Molly Hatchet


I m travelin down the road,
I m flirtin with disaster.
I ve got the pedal to the floor,
My life is running faster.
I m out of money, I m out of hope,
Looks like self-destruction.
Well, how much more can we take,
With all of this corruption.

Been flirtin with disaster,
Y all know what I mean.
And the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don t know about yourself or
What you want to be, yeah,
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.

I m travelin down that lonesome road,
Feels like I m draggin a heavy load.
Yeah, I ve tried to turn my head away,
Feel about the same most every day.

Speeding down the fast lane,
Playin from town to town.
They boys and I been burnin it up,
Can t seem to slow it down.
I ve got the pedal to the floor,
Our lives are runnin faster.
Got our sight set straight ahead,
But ain t sure what we re after.

Been flirtin with disaster,
Y all damn sure know what I mean.
You know the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don t know about yourself or
What you want to be, yeah,
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.

Yeah, we re travelin down that lonesome road,
Feels like I m draggin a heavy load.
Don t try to turn my head away,
I m flirtin with disaster every day.

Flirtin with disaster, baby,
Y all know what I mean.
You know the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don t know about yourself or
What you want to be, yeah,
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.

Yeah, we re travelin down that lonesome road,
Feels like I m draggin a heavy load.
Don t try to turn my head away,
I m flirtin with disaster every day.
