Demolition Derby Lyrics

It was over in a flash

In the blink of an eye

Started first and finished last

Everybody's fine but me

Not me

They won the race

But not the season

Scratched the surface

Not the deeper meaning

No

That's what I tell myself

They got gold

But I got hunger

Life's too short to sit and wonder

Take me down

To the demolition derby

Oh

Demolition derby

Oh

Joyride a red Corvette

My grandfather's car

How the hell did I get here

Make it this far

My life could have ended

At seventeen like I planned it

Guess I'm glad that I'm still kicking

How the hell would I know

What I was missing

If I made that jump

They got gold and I got silver

Driving drunk on whiskey shots and pilsner

Take me down

To the demolition derby

Oh

Demolition derby

Oh

And I could be like everyone else but

It's too fun defaming myself

You make it easy

I make it hard and

Take another shot in the dark

A shot in the dark

Oh a shot in the dark

There's nothing better to do

Won't you take me down to

The demolition derby

Oh

The demolition derby

Oh

It doesn't even hurt me

Oh

There's nothing better to do

Won't you take me down too
