[Verse 1]

I ran a red light just to see you sooner

I got a speeding ticket from a state trooper

I wasn't gonna be late, but I knew that you were

I had to laugh it off 'cause that's my sense of humor

I got a court date, that's a problem for the future

I stopped off at the station to get ice for the cooler

I was flying and I got what I deserve

A moving violation brought me back down to earth

[Chorus]

Hell bent for leather

Pull yourself together

Waiting for the things

That never seem to come along

Hope it gets bettеr

Rush into forever

Nevеr had the pleasure

'Cause it always seems like something's wrong

[Verse 2]

Changing lanes 'cause I'm afraid I won't have time to merge

Worried more about it before it ever occurred

Calm it down and take it slow is something I gotta learn

Before I know it I'll be lying deep down in the dirt

[Chorus]

Hell bent for leather

Pull yourself together

Waiting for the things

That never seem to come along

Hope it gets better

Rush into forever

Never had the pleasure

'Cause it always seems like something's wrong

[Bridge]

Lonely life

I could've felt

Happier

But I was stressed out

He's running my plate

I watch the ice melt

A reminder to myself

A reminder to myself

A reminder to myself

[Chorus]

(Hell bent for leather)

(Pull yourself together)

Waiting for the things

That never seem to come along

(Hope it gets better)

(Rush into forever)

Never had the pleasure

'Cause it always seems like something's wrong

Hell bent for leather

Pull yourself together

Waiting for the things

That never seem to come along

Hope it gets better

Rush into forever

Never had the pleasure

'Cause it always seems like something's wrong

Hell bent for leather

Pull yourself together

Waiting for the things

That never seem to come along

Hope it gets better

Rush into forever

Never had the pleasure

'Cause it always seems like something's wrong
