Four on the Floor
SURF & DRAG Vol. 1 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sixty seven
Back home from war
Crashed my car, I needed one more
I never thought that this would be the one to fit my dreams, yeah...
Shiny chrome and
Solid lines
Chevy power
Burnouts for days
The finer things in life you want they never come to you free, yeah...
With my car by my side
There's not a race I can't win
Flashing lines passing by
Leave you all behind
Shifting down into fourth
Theres no way to describe
I'll shift until my last breath
With my four on the floor....
Slammin gears
Not a cop in sight
Down 280
So lean and mean
Down a two lane blacktop with a lust for speed that sets me free, yeah...
With my car by my side
There's not a race I can't win
Flashing lines passing by
Leave you all behind
Shifting down into fourth
Theres no way to describe
I'll shift until my last breath
With my four on the floor...
No turning back
Dragstrip in sight
Light turns green
Time to... Punch it
Final race
Trip the lights
Break the rules
Im gonna make it mine
Just one more time, a story for the books in my memory, yeah...
With my car by my side
There's not a race I can't win
Flashing lines passing by
Leave you all behind
Shifting down into fourth
Theres no way to describe




I'll shift until my last breath
With my four on the floor...
