[Chorus]
I'ma go wherever I want
As long as I go where I wanna be, it won't take too long (Yeah, yeah)
Got my hands on the wheel on the freeway (Yeah, yeah)
Hit speed bumps every other day
No, I ain't finna crash but he may
Life goin' too fast for me to sit and wait (Wait)
[Verse 1]
Drivin' down country roads, I never felt more at home
Yeah, it healed my highs and lows
It really taught me how to make it on my own
Count this money up by myself 'cause I really used to go through hell
I got tired of takin' them Ls, I don't know if you could tell
Booked a one-way flight to Nashville
Then shit got real
Got a job playin' soccer out in them cow fields
It feels surreal
[Chorus]
I'ma go wherever I want
As long as I go where I wanna be, it won't take too long (Yeah, yeah)
Got my hands on the wheel on the freeway (Yeah, yeah)
Hit speed bumps every other day
No, I ain't finna crash but he may
Life goin' too fast for me to sit and wait (Wait)
[Verse 2]
In the south, it gets hot
The warm summers made me bring out this Glock
You play with me, I might shoot out your heart
It's a pity you ain't playin' your part
Thinkin' 'bout the traumas I had
Now I get to leave 'em in the past
Remember I was so down bad
Now I'm too used to livin' fast
[Chorus]
I'ma go wherever I want
As long as I go where I wanna be, it won't take too long (Yeah, yeah)
Got my hands on the wheel on the freeway (Yeah, yeah)
Hit speed bumps every other day
No, I ain't finna crash but he may
Life goin' too fast for me to sit and wait (Wait)
[Outro]
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Life goin' too fast for me to sit and wait
Hmm, hmm
Life goin' too fast for me to sit and wait
