Slammin’ On The Brakes Lyrics by The Drones

The Miller’s Daughter

0

Someone tell me what I did so wrong
To make me feel so lousy for so long
Yeah, I keep my muscles caged inside my arm
As I ride out of the calm into the storm
Yea I get to thinking about it
I guess it's fate
But the day is long and the road is winding 'round
Yeah, I missed the sign to find another town
An empty tank of gas is all I found
And the time seems right for putting my foot down
Yea I get to thinking about it
I guess it's fate
But my friends have gone
My money's blown
I made a big mistake
Yea the night is coming out again
I'm stepping on the brakes
Please show me the way back home
I'm ready for that now
See I've used up all my good luck anyhow

Yea someone tell me what I did so wrong
And why I cannot find my way back home
Now the dust has cleared I'm standing on my own
No I cannot find a place to call my own(home?)
Yea I've been thinking about it
I caused it myself
Yeah my money's blown
My friends have gone
I made a big mistake
Yea the night is coming out again
I'm stepping on the brakes
Yeah my money's blown
My friends have gone
There's nothing left to take
Yea my mind is _____
I'm stepping.... Yeah I've got my foot on the brakes
Stepping on the brakes
Stepping on... on the brakes

(few more lines after this point are repeated but more difficult to make out)
