[Verse 1]
I'm headed for the border
It's on my mind
And nothing really matters
I've got to be on time
Look in the view mirror
Is he hot on my tracks?
Is he getting nearer?
I feel some heat is on my back

[Hook]
(Speed demon)
Speedin' on the freeway
Gotta get a leadway
(Speed demon)
Doing it on the highway
Gotta have it my way
(Speed demon)
Mind is like a compass
I'm stopping at nothing
(Speed demon)
(He say)
Pull over, boy, and get your ticket right

[Verse 2]
Ain't nothing gonna stop me
Ain't no stop and go
I'm speeding on the midway
I gotta really burn this road

[Hook]
(Speed demon)
Speedin' on the freeway
Gotta get a leadway
(Speed demon)
Doing it on the highway
Gotta have it my way
(Speed demon)
Mind is like a compass
I'm stopping at nothing
(Speed demon)
(He say)
Pull over, boy, and get your ticket right

[Bridge]
Speed demon, you're the very same one
Who said the future's in your hands, the life you save could be your own
You're preaching about my life like you're the law
Gonna live each day and hour like for me there's no tomorrow

[Interlude]
Go!
Go!
Go!
Aaow!

[Hook]
(Speed demon)
Speedin' on the freeway
Gotta get a leadway
(Speed demon)
Got fire in my pocket
I just lit a rocket
(Speed demon)
Just pull over, boy, and get your ticket right
(Speed demon)
Pull over, boy, and get your ticket right
(Speed demon)
Just pull over, boy, and eat your ticket
Pull over, boy
Pull over, boy, and get your ticket right

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
