Those brakes weren't tight
While I'm driving on the road through the city lights
Those brakes weren't tight
When I tried to stop my car, but something's not right

I started driving back in 2K9
That's when I owned a Ford that time
I could always guess what lies ahead
Still not coming through when the light's red

Someone behind me had just slowed
His Volvo in the middle of the road
I hit the brakes and nothing happens
I could have them repaired right then, repaired right then

Those brakes weren't tight
While I'm driving on the road through the city lights
Those brakes weren't tight
When I tried to stop my car, but something's not right
Those brakes weren't tight
Now I crashed into the wall in the midst of the night
Those brakes weren't tight
Although I never had a single DUI

I survive after such a crash
Can't hide my face away, I'm scared at last
But as hours go by I'm being stiff
I oughta take the bus and get a grip
Still got my license, my fender's bent
I'll go ask that Volvo driver then
I saw him sleeping when I'm close to him
"Why did you stop?", that's what I'd asked him, what I'd asked him

Those brakes weren't tight
While I'm driving on the road through the city lights
Those brakes weren't tight
When I tried to stop my car, but something's not right
Those brakes weren't tight
Now I crashed into the wall in the midst of the night
Those brakes weren't tight
Although I never had at least a DWI

Those brakes weren't tight

Those brakes weren't tight
