Ninety Miles an Hour (Down a Dead End Street)

Hank Snow

    Continues after the ad

    I took you home from a party and we kissed in fun
    A few stolen kisses and no harm was done
    Stead of stoppin' when we could we went right on
    Till suddenly we found the brakes were gone.

    --- Instrumental ---

    You belong to someone else and I do too
    It's just crazy bein' here with you
    As a bad motorcycle with the devil in the seat
    Doin' ninety miles an hour down a dead end street.

    Continues after the ad

    I didn't want to want you now I have no choice
    It's too late to listen to the warning voice
    All I hear is thunder as our two hearts beat
    Doin' ninety miles an hour down a dead end street.

    You're not free to belong to me
    And you know I can never be your own
    Your lips on mine are like sweet, sweet wine
    But we're heading for a wall of stone.

    Warnin' signs are flashin' by us but we pay no heed
    Stead of slowin' down the pace we keep picking up the speed
    Disaster's getting closer every time we meet
    Doin' ninety miles an hour down a dead end street.

    You're not free to belong to me
    And you know I can never be your own
    Your lips on mine are like sweet, sweet wine
    But we're heading for a wall of stone...
