[Verse 1]
You can follow the road to the mountain
Or the track leading down to the beach
You can go where your life go left or go right
It's you in the driver's seat
But if the rain starts swamping your windscreen
And the lights don't piss through the night
And the truck's coming at you, just going to splash you
The highway's blinding bright

[Chorus 1]
You're going out of your brain, out of your mind
You're so deranged, you're going blind

[Chorus 2]
You're driving too fast
You went straight past the curve and you never go back
Driving too fast
The road was a blur and it all turned to black
Driving too fast
Hang on to the wheel, I think you're going to crash

[Verse 2]
You can see the freeway divided
It's a pity you can't take them both
One leads to the valley or down some blind alley
The other runs down to the coast
Too many roads lead to nowhere
But how they twist and they turn
And a dead end and a dusty old strip mall
Where your tires are all shredded and burned

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
You're driving too fast
You slip through the curve and your slam through the flat
Driving too fast
Now you never go back

[Chorus 2]
Driving too fast
Yeah and it's all time to pass, yeah
You're driving too fast
Hang on for your life, I think you're going to crash

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
You're driving too fast
You slip pass the time, never go back
Driving too fast
You spin through the curve and you burn off the track

[Chorus 2]
Driving too fast
You're running out of gas
Driving too fast
Hang on to the wheel, I think we're going to crash

[Outro]
Yeah
Driving too fast, Yeah

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
