Stolen Car (The Road’s on Fire) (Part 1) Songtext
von Jimmy Barnes

My life is like a stolen car, out of control
I got no destination, I lost my soul
There′s a thunderhead boiling in under the moon
The motor's howling in and out of tune
And the road′s on fire, and I just roll

I'm asleep at the wheel
And my tyres are blown
I don't care where I go
Just as long as I′m going

My life is like a stolen car
That I′ve been pushing way too hard
Yeah the road's on fire and I just roll

And the smell of hot rubber, it fills the air
My heart is like a live grenade and baby I don′t care
I took a wrong turn somewhere way back
I'm a long way down a, a wrong track
And the road′s on fire and I just roll


It's like a kick in the guts
As the rifle recoils
I′m going to take what's mine
I ain't sharing the spoils, no no

My life is like a stolen car
That I′ve been pushing way too hard
And the road′s on fire and I just roll

I'm licking up the white lines
Going way too fast
They′re coming at me out of the future
Going into the past
And carving up the early hours I feel
Something up ahead's going to be real
But there ain′t no sign so far
My life is like a stolen car
And the road's on fire and I just roll

I′ve been shot from a gun
And I want to reload
I'm like a cannonball
That's about to explode, yeah


My life is like a stolen car
That I′ve been pushing way too hard
And the road′s on fire and I just roll
My life is like a stolen car
That I've been pushing way too hard
And the road′s on fire and I just roll

Yeah the road's on fire
The road′s on fire
Oh the road's on fire and I just roll
Yeah the road′s on fire and I just roll
