No Brakes

Lyrics from Red Dirt to Redemption — a cinematic southern gothic memoir album by Clint Wilson.

Lyrics

[Intro]
No pause… no plan…
Just go

[Verse]
Fast lane, no brakes, no fear in my chest
Young, wild, reckless, I don’t second guess
Fists up, head down, always on attack
Didn’t know then… there ain’t no comin’ back

Run hard, burn fast, never slow it down
Loved the noise, loved the chaos, loved the sound
Every line crossed felt like a win…
Didn’t see what it was buildin’ in

[Pre-Chorus]
They said “slow down”… I said “watch me”
Didn’t know what it would cost me

[Chorus]
No brakes, no stop, no turnin’ around
Full speed ahead, yeah I’m crashin’ now
Didn’t care what I might lose
Thought I had nothin’ left to choose

No brakes, no line I wouldn’t cross
Didn’t count the cost… didn’t count the cost

[Break]
Just go… just go…
Don’t think… just go

[Outro]
Didn’t know where it would end…
Only knew I wasn’t slowin’ down
