As young man my best friend was the unknown promise of the night
Couldn’t see then
All the time spent worth more than money could buy
Cruising highways
Skipping hallways for the songs of Steve Miller on the radio
Midnight tokin’
Sunroof open
I swear her hair was made of gold

Reckless and Free
We were high
Pushing that speed
Felt so alive
She had the wheels
I had to drive
That was the life

As the stars fade and dawn breaks open, main street’s shaking off the night
Should be sleeping but we’re breathing in the best damn days of our life
Cruising backroads
Skipping flat stones
Cold Miller memories on ice

Reckless and Free
We were high
Pushing that speed
Felt so alive
She had the wheels
I had to drive
That was the life
She had the wheels
I had to drive
That was the life


Reckless and Free
We were high
Pushing for speed
Felt so alive

Reckless and Free
We were high
Pushing that speed
Felt so alive
Reckless and Free
We were high
Pushing that speed
Felt so alive


She had the wheels
I had to drive
That was the life
She had the wheels
I had to drive
That was the life
That was the life
That was the life
