Lucky Mud: Music

Full Throttle

(Lucky Mud)
December 1, 2008
Michael McKinney
My daddy died young, so I thought I would, too.
Life's full of surprises.
I once thought
I would burn like a rocket
Like a comet
I'd be here, then I'd be gone
All alone without a penny
In my pocket
Young and wild
On the road all alone

But there's still too much
Good whiskey in the bottle
And so many songs
I haven't sung
So I've got this old truck
Going full throttle
Now that I'm too old
To die young

There's nothing wrong
With being twenty
And skinny
Looking good
Without a damned thing
To say
But what ever your size is
Life's full of surprises
Even when you're getting wide
And getting grey

'Cause there's still
Too much good whiskey
In the bottle
And so many songs
I haven't sung
So I've got this old truck
Going full throttle
Now that I'm too old
To die young
