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
