    Default Pedal on the Floor - my first original

    Hey yall. This is my first original song. If I get some feedback on the lyrics I'll try to get the guitar up with it somewhere. Let me know what you think.

    "Pedal On The Floor"

    Well I was born and raised in a country town
    In 2005 I was college bound
    So I headed down south on 85
    Hardly knew anyone around
    But I made friends fast in ol' Tigertown
    Stayin' out late, just a-raisin' hell

    Came outta high school on top of my class
    But the next four years were nothin like the last
    I didn't know what was in store for me

    And now I get up every mornin'
    Fire up my truck and roll in
    To a good ol' 9 to 5
    Just barely gettin' by
    And I spend my nights in smoky bars
    Singin' songs, tryin' to heal my heart
    And lookin' for a woman just as simple as me
    Then I head back home and I hit the sack
    Wake up tomorrow and head right back
    To livin' life with the pedal on the floor

    Traded Friday night lights for neon signs
    And a college education for a few good times
    And today I still couldn't tell you why
    Oh I've had to learn the hard way
    That this here life is full of change
    But I still gotta keep movin' on

    So I get up every mornin'
    Fire up my truck and roll in
    To that good ol' 9 to 5
    Just barely gettin' by
    And I spend my nights in smoky bars
    Singin' songs, tryin' to heal my heart
    And lookin' for a woman just as simple as me
    Then I head back home and I hit the sack
    Wake up tomorrow and head right back
    To livin' life with the pedal on the floor

    I know God's watchin' my back
    Makin' sure I stay on track
    And followin' the road he's made for me
    Maybe one day I settle down
    Set up shop in some podunk town
    Where I can start and raise a family
    But until then I'll keep movin' on

    And I'll get up every mornin'
    Just hopin' I can roll in
    To that good ol' 9 to 5
    Thankin' God that I'm alive
    And I'll spend some nights in smoky bars
    Singin' songs that come straight from the heart
    And lookin' for a woman who's crazy for me
    When I get back home 'fore I hit the sack
    Pray to God that I can get right back
    To livin' life with a pedal on the floor

    I'm just livin' life with a pedal on the floor
