Lyrics
I DOVE INTO THE GREAT UNKNOWN SHE PICKED ME UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I WAS WEARIN MY BEST KISS ME SMILE WITH A SIDE OF LET'S GET CRAZY FOR A WHILE

ASKED ME DID I HAVE A NAME JUST WINKED AND SMILED PUT ON MY SHADES TURNED UP THE RADIO UNTIL IT HURT FLICKED MY CIGARETTE BUTT LIKE A BULLET INTO THE DIRT

SAYS WHAT YOU DOIN IN THIS PISS ANT TOWN THE NEXT TRAIN OUT IS THE ONLY SOUND SAID GIRL I DO JUST WHAT I FEEL I BEEN BREAKIN HEARTS AND BENDING STEEL (LIKE A STEELDRIVIN'MAN)

THEN SHE SAYS GIVE ME YOUR NAME OR GET OUT

RECKLESS MY NAME IS RECKLESS

PULLED INTO A PLACE CALLED KISS MY HASH AND SAT DOWN WITH THE REST OF THE HUMAN TRASH I AIN'T KILLED NOBODY BUT IF I COULD I'M MOST AFRAID IT MIGHT FEEL GOOD

LOOKED EM ALL UP THEN STARED EM ALL DOWN I SAID THIS HERE'S THE WAY THIS IS GOIN' DOWN THERE MIGHT BE TROUBLE YOU MIGHT GET HURT BUT WE'RE ALL GONNA GET OUR MONEY'S WORTH

PUT HER FOOT TO THE FLOOR ON THE OPEN ROAD WITH GREASE FROM THE DINER STUCK ON OUR CLOTHES BLOOD FROM THE OWNER FRESH ON MY SHOES BY 6PM SHOTGUNNED ALL OVER THE NEWS

BABY SAY MY NAME SAY MY NAME RECKLESS

Description
Short Song Description:
A crime spree in the spirit of the film "Natural Born Killers", with a twist of wry humor between our titular "hero" and his new squeeze.
Story Behind the Song:
I love the structure of country songs that start on the four chord. Had been playing these at jam sessions and this eventually inspired my writing for the album.
