Reckless Nights: The Thrill of a Dangerous Drive
Lyrics
Three in the morning and I gotta be someplace,
It's 3 AM, and the singer has to be somewhere, but doesn't remember where.
I don't remember where
The singer is uncertain about the location.
friends try to make me stay, or call me a cab home,
Friends advise staying or taking a cab, but the singer grabs keys and a beer.
I grab my keys and a beer
The singer is choosing to drive despite advice.
Cops they took my license away,
The singer's license has been taken by the police, but the car is out of impound.
got my car out of impound today
The car has been retrieved recently.
I've been drunk since last Saturday,
The singer has been continuously drunk since last Saturday.
better stay out of my way
A warning to stay out of the singer's way.
I drink and drive
Expressing the act of drinking and driving.
Feel so alive
Feeling a sense of vitality or excitement while intoxicated.
Never take that dive
Committing to the risky behavior of drinking and driving.
Feel so alive
Reiterating the feeling of being alive while engaging in the dangerous act.
Doing 95
Driving at a high speed of 95 miles per hour.
I drink and drive
Repeating the thrill of drinking and driving.
Feel so alive
Reaffirming the feeling of being alive while intoxicated.
I drink and drive
Emphasizing the act of drinking and driving.
Early in the morning and the freeway's deserted, like its all mine
Early morning, the freeway is empty, and the singer feels it's theirs.
I'm trying to set a new drunken speed record,
Attempting to set a new speed record while intoxicated.
but I can't drive a straight line
The singer is unable to drive in a straight line.
Flashing lights, split the night
Police lights interrupt the intoxicated drive.
I'm tossing bottles as I swerve to the right
Throwing bottles while swerving to the right.
now I've slammed my face into the back of a big rig
The singer crashes into the back of a large truck.
At least you'll never get me, you fucking pigs!
Defiantly expressing a sentiment of not getting caught by the police.
Designate someone other than me,
Suggesting someone else should be the designated driver.
I'm so drunk I can hardly see
Admitting extreme intoxication, affecting vision.
Another shot of Jager and I turn the key,
Drinking more and preparing to drive, despite being drunk.
I got so many places to be
The singer has many places to be, justifying their decision to drive.
When I'm on a binge, my friends all cringe
Friends disapprove of the singer's binge-drinking and driving habits.
They won't drive at night
Friends refuse to drive at night due to fear of the singer's actions.
'Cause way down on the freeway it's such a fright
Describing the frightening experience of driving on the freeway at night.
But I think I drive alright
The singer believes they drive well despite the fear expressed by friends.
