Chorus:

I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really got to do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why

Don't know why
I have to drive so fast
My car has nothing to prove
It's not new, but it'll do 0 to 60 in 5.2

Chorus

Can't be late
That leaves me plenty of time
Shakin' hands with the clock
I can't stop, I'm on a roll and ready to rock

Chorus

I hear a voice
It says I'm runnin' behind
I better pick up my pace
It's a race and there ain't no room
For someone in second place

Break

Chorus
