We were headlong into the abyss

In a four door sedan , and a kid that always stuttered

We stole it, for the feeling, of stealing, and drove it,

just like our days had been stolen

Follow me down, Follow me down, Follow me down

And we'll raise our glass

To borrowed cash

D G

To borrowed cash

D………….Bm……D…….

Our wheels touched the highway

We travelled on down

A D

From the valley that raised us up to shrink down

And gave us the drive

Bm D

To keep driving from dreary and dread

To make bets we could not afford to

Follow me down

And we'll raise our glass

Bm D

To borrowed cash

C'mon, c'mon, to borrowed cash

Well call the police, go ahead call your shrink
