So he's gone and left you all alone You think the better of your years Are spent with him The little girl who used to dance On fire and brimstone Is all but dead Where's the girl I knew That held a lighter up to the radio? She'd do anything she wants Because she can We were seventeen and wild and we were jumpin' on The devil's bed I didn't raise you like that [Chorus:] I taught you lessons about freedom Strapped to the bucket of a four five five I lit your hair on fire Racing ten mile flats Where American heavy metal thrives Oh we were waitin' and wishin' On pink slips and kisses at the end of the line And you rat-a-tat tatted on the gla** And you screamed on high I'm alive You can say that cat is long gone Oh I bet you look real hard You can find that girl within She's probably waitin' in the wings For you to come along Let her ride again You need a quarter mile, a bunch of horses And some gasoline [Chorus:] I taught you lessons about freedom Strapped to the bucket of a four five five I lit your hair on fire Racing ten mile flats Where American heavy metal thrives Oh we were waitin' and wishin' On pink slips and kisses at the end of the line And you rat-a-tat tatted on the gla** And you screamed I'm alive I'm alive. You wanna meet a girl I used to know Let's take a drive
