Lyrics
I used to do 100 on the highway
I used to drive at 100 mph on the highway
I used to get drunk on Mondays
I used to drink heavily on Mondays
Now I drive slow
Now I drive slowly
Weekdays I lay low
During weekdays, I keep a low profile
'Cause I wanna come home to you
Expressing the desire to come home to a specific person
I wanna come home to you
-Wanna come home to you
-So will you stay up for me?
Asking if the person will stay awake for them
On my way to you
En route to the person
I'll be coming home soon
Anticipation of coming home soon
I fly solo usually
Usually travels alone but today seeks companionship
Today I need your company
Expressing a need for the company of the person
I've been as loud as a timpani
Previously loud and chaotic, now symbolizing calmness
Now I'm the piano in your symphony
Metaphorical transformation into an essential part of the person's life
God only knows where I would be now
Reflecting on potential negative outcomes if engaged in risky behavior
Had I played with the devil another round
Avoiding potential harm by not engaging with negative influences
The blunts still roll though
Engaging in a wild lifestyle discreetly
We walk on the wild side but keep it on the low
-I've been waiting for your love all of my life
Longing for the love of the person throughout life
So pump the brakes for me tonight
Requesting the person to slow down for them
I used to do 100 on the highway
Reiteration of the desire to come home and the request for the person to stay awake
I used to get drunk on Mondays
-Now I drive slow
-Weekdays I lay low
-'Cause I wanna come home to you
-I wanna come home to you
-Wanna come home to you
-So will you stay up for me?
Asking again if the person will stay awake
A los que van acelerados buscando caos
Spanish lines cautioning against reckless behavior and urging for a careful approach to life
Los que cruzan sin mirar a ambos lados
-Frágil es la vida no jueguen
-Mañana igual no la tienen
-Dale dale gas como si no hubiera freno
-Pásame el ron el vaso lo quiero lleno
-Dame veneno y todo lo que no sea bueno
-Si no vivo al límite no lo quiero
Encouraging reflection on life choices and expressing pain if needed
Man recapacita
-Ese estilo de vida años te quita
-Si te duele el corazón pues grita
-La botella no lo cura permanente
Warning against seeking solace in harmful substances and encouraging emotional expression
Hay chavales que no llegan a los veinte
-Sé paciente y cultiva tu mente
-Llorar es valiente
-I used to do 100 on the highway
Reiteration of earlier verses and a concluding plea to drive slowly
I used to get drunk on Mondays
-Now I drive slow
-Weekdays I lay low
-'Cause I wanna come home to you
-I wanna come home to you
-Wanna come home to you
-So will you stay up for me?
-On my way to you
-I'll be coming home soon
-Drive slow homie, drive slow
