Story Behind The Song

This song is a bit of a time warp. A guy is infatuated with a new love that is hampered only by being a long distance relationship. Perhaps it's the weekend and he's gotta go fast to see her again . . . across the desert, through the mountains, wind down the valley and all the way to the ocean! Nik Kozub (from the acclaimed electro dance group "Shout Out Out Out Out") brought in some exciting electro-pop elements into this tune that help to make it jump off the page. We hope you dig it as much as we do!! www.wilfrednandthegrownmen.com

Song Description

"I Like To Go Fast" is off engaging new album titled "Stop Go Romeo". The album is a trip through a person's life, and it's a trip through time itself - right into the future. "I Like To Go Fast" refers to a bit of Americana (Burma Shave!) from the 60s, packaged in a pop/electro dance adventure. It's pretty coolio.

Lyrics

She's buggin' my mind - and I only just met her
Yeah, I gotta see her - the sooner the better
So I gotta drive - I gotta go fast
And I like to go fast

I gotta make haste - you know what I'm sayin'
Could be a perfect day, or maybe the rain
It's just the weather and it means nothin'
I gotta go fast

What will she say?
"Why you takin' so long? . . . Did you not have the pedal to the metal, hon?
. . . Or did you stop for the police when you prob'bly coulda made a run?
Did you get up before the birds just like you said you would?"

Across the desert
Through the mountains
Wind down the valley
Straight through to the ocean
I will find you waitin' for me - don't want to make you sad

So I gotta go fast - 'cause I'm in the mood
When the light says go - my car says VROOOMMM
I've got your number, and I've got it wired

I'm playin' my tunes, makin' up rhymes
Lookin' for funny clouds and readin' the highway signs

Don't lose your head to save a minute (Burma Shave)
You need your head - your brains are in it (Burma Shave)
Why is it when you try to pass,
The guy in front goes twice as fast? (Burma Shave)

Across the desert
Through the mountains
Wind down the valley
Straight through to the ocean
I will find you waitin' for me

Across the desert
Straight through to the mountains
Wind down the valley
All the way to the ocean

I will find you on a rooftop
Pinot noir . . . gazing at the stars above . . .
. . . and watching for a moving one

mmmm . . . yes

almost there

here I come

oh yeah

over there
