Verse:
Yeah Me Jim and Dan we were all best friends.
Ridin' off like cowboys on a road that never ends.
A A2 A D D2, Dsus4, D
We knew it was the last time for the time of our lives.
You see Dan was gettin' married Jim was goin' to desert storm.
I was headin' off to college movin' into a dorm.
A A2 A D D2, Dsus4, D
So we took off in that old hot rod. Back when we were gods.
Chorus:
You couldn't tell us nothin' we didn't already know.
And if a sign said off limits you could be we would go.
A hundred miles an hour non stop.

Verse:
There were Arizona troopers trailin' close behind.
We knew they couldn't touch us once we crossed the state line.
So we pulled over and showed 'em a Tennessee moon
D D2, Dsus4, D
From the California side.
L.A. was a nightmare Vegas was a dream.
Dan had won more money than we had ever seen.
Didn't take us one day to blow the whole lot.

Yeah back when we were gods.

Bridge:
We thought we were invincible couldn't nothin' bring us down.
But it didn't take long for the real world to knock us flat on the ground.
And I hope we were forgiven for all the crazy things we did.
After all we were just kids.
Chorus:
You couldn't tell us nothin' we didn't already know.
And if a sign said off limits you could be we would go.
A hundred miles an hour non stop.
