Lyrics

Burning Up The Blacktop

Verse#1
I'm twenty four miles from Memphis
Got the radio playing loud
Pushing the pedal to the metal
Flying down the highway
I ain't slowing down
The only thing that's on my mind
Is getting close to you
Gotta quench this appetite
And find a faster route

Chorus:
I'm burning up the blacktop
So I can spend some time with you
I'm burning up the blacktop
Baby if you knew
I can't eat, can't think, I can't sleep
I'm breaking all the rules
I'll keep racing on and I won't stop
I'll keep burning up the blacktop

Verse#2
Passed a semi on the shoulder
Couldn't wait for the passing lane
I'm shifting gears and babe it's clear
Ain't stopping till I find
Your arms round my waist
The only thing that's on my mind
Is getting close to you
Gotta quench this appetite
And find a faster route


Chorus:
I'm burning up the blacktop
So I can spend some time with you
I'm burning up the blacktop
Baby if you knew
I can't eat, can't think, I can't sleep
I'm breaking all the rules
I'll keep racing on and I won't stop (music stops)
I'll keep burning up the blacktop
