(Paul Nelson/Larry Boone/John Rich)

Well, I was born a-kickin, Lord, and bound to die the same
Son of a son of a man on the run, reared on raisin Cain

Mama put lead in my boots to keep me on the ground
But once I heard that highway call, couldn't nothing hold me down.

Cause I'm on a wild ride, full stride, I've let go of the reins
I get off on getting out of control
Baby, I've got a raging fire, running through my veins
I just can't seem to take it slow
Oh cause life gets better I know,
The faster I go

Well people call me crazy, y'all, just because I'm young
But I ain't gonna waste one night till my days are done
Full speed down the track, forget about the brakes
If you don't wanna get on board, then you'd best get outta my way

Cause I'm on a wild ride, full stride, I've let go of the reins
I get off on getting out of control
Baby, I've got a raging fire, running through my veins
I just can't seem to take it slow
Oh cause life gets better I know,
The faster I go

I'm on a wild ride, full stride, I've let go of the reins
I get off on getting out of control
Baby, I've got a raging fire, running through my veins
I just can't seem to take it slow
Oh cause life gets better I know,
The faster I go
The faster I go
Yeah the faster I go
The faster I go
