Pump The Breaks Lyrics

When she was young, she was shy

Pride of her daddy's eye

Good grades, momma had a plan

School valedictorian

Now she's ditched college, traveling cross the land

She's off and joined the circus, playing bass in a band

She's holding on loosely, says she's going to make it rain

Living out a suitcase full of pills and cocaine

She's saying I can't hold on,

Don't pump the breaks

Cause I want to go faster

I can't hold on,

Don't pump the breaks

I want to go faster

Keeping on, keeping on

Hey

Keeping on, keeping on

Hey

Now she feels the sting of really being free

She's out of luck without a buck, her family don't agree

So, she met a good man, now she's a soccer mom

Got a new house, runs the PTA, what can go wrong

In church choir she's on fire, does yoga everyday

She a trophy wife with a model life, got a book deal they say

She's saying I can't hold on,

Don't pump the breaks

Cause I want to go faster

I can't hold on,

Don't pump the breaks

I want to go faster

Now she works a double shift, her kids feel left alone

Her man's a bum, she's done keeping up and keeping on

She cries and screams to herself, while she's driving home

Now momma says keep praying child, your stronger than you know

She's saying I can't hold on,

Lord pump the breaks

I don't want to go faster

I can't hold on,

Pump the breaks

I don't want to go faster

I can't hold on,

Pump the breaks

I don't want to go faster

I can't hold on,

Pump the breaks, I don't want to go faster
