Speed Of A Fool
Recorded by Tracy Lawrence
Written by Larry Boone and Paul Nelson

C                               F
Couldn't tell me nothing had to learn it on my own
       C                Am            F               G7
On the restless side of seventeen the day that I left home
C                   F              C                    Am   G7
Screaming down that highway with a passion to break any rules
       F        G7                C   F
I went crashing at the speed of a fool

        C                             F
She was serving all night coffee at a San Antonio Cafe
C              Am            F         G7
She was headed nowhere I was goin' her way
       C                   F                     C               Am G7
With a trusting soul and a naive heart there was nothing I could do
       F        G7                C
I went crashing at the speed of a fool

F                                      C
You're either born for holding back or bound for lettin' go
F                                  G7
So I throw caution to the wind wherever it may blow
         F                    Dm       F                 C   F
It's the only way I know I go crashing at the speed of a fool

      C                         F
Got a hunger for that highway I know will never end
C                 Am               F                   G7
Lord I can't help what I'm not and won't change what I am
          C                 F         C      G7           Am  G7
Till that roll is called up yonder to my own-self I'll be true
       F        G7                C
And go crashing at the speed of a fool

F                                      C
You're either born for holding back or bound for lettin' go
F                                  G7
So I throw caution to the wind wherever it may blow
         F                    Dm       F                 C
It's the only way I know I go crashing at the speed of a fool

     Dm       F                 C
I go crashing at the speed of a fool
