lyrics

front seat, riding shotgun
orange crush, the color stains your tongue
you passed your test today
finally got your wings so you can fly

give it all that you can give it
hit the gas and push the limit
you can set the world on fire
take a left at 4th and Dwyer
drive into the night, the universe just gave you the green light
just drive

you’re a bombshell
you’re a lit fuze
a child navigating youth
you’re a woman trying to find your truth

head west, roll the windows down
or eastbound, just get the hell out of this town
it really doesn’t matter where cuz
this is what it feels like to be free
free

give it all that you can give it
hit the gas push the limit
so ready to blast off
45 to the end of the block
(you know) the future’s yours’
finally got something worth driving towards
just drive

you’re a bombshell
you’re a lit fuze
a child navigating youth
you’re a woman trying to find your truth

you’re a bombshell
you’re a lit fuze
a child navigating youth
you’re a woman howling at the moon
