[Verse 1] Another life but I still remember A county fair in steamy September In the Year of the Tiger 19-something I was broke and you were unbroken A little jokes to keep it unspoken Even when I knew you were the last one [Chorus] I broke a promise to myself Ride the Throttle 'til wheels came off Burn out like a Molotov In the night sky I broke a promise to myself Made a couple to a brown eyed girl Who rode with me through the mean ol' world Never say die [Verse 2] Time flies when you're making babies Do you miss your little black Mercedes Do you miss the girl you once had time to be When you said we had the same three wishes I hope you weren't being facetious And I hope you still see fire inside of me [Chorus] I broke a promise to myself Ride the throttle 'til the wheels came off Burn out like a molotov In the night sky I broke a promise to myself Made a couple to a browneyed girl Who rode with me in the mean ol' world Never say Die [Instrumental] [Chorus] I broke a promise to myself Ride the Throttle til the wheels came off Burn out like a Molotov In the night sky I broke a promise to myself Made a couple to a brown eyed girl Who rode with me through the mean ol' world Never Say Die
