lyrics

September 30th 1955
(date of James Dean's fatal car crash)

Woke up, had a cigarette near the window
Phone call and the argument, I got my way
I made up my mind I'm taking the Spider
Perfect day to drive around with the top down

Hey, Its you and me kid
Making History
One way or another

Chevron station coming up there on my left
Old man waving from the grass beside the road
Whizzing trees, eight degrees, a clear blue sky
Veering slightly then i move toward impact

Hey, Its you and me kid
Making History
One way or another

James I don't know, i got a feeling
Its all gonna blow if we keep pushing
James I don't know, whats you're feeling?
Are we over our heads? Are we over our heads
James, in my gut i got a feeling
Maybe we shouldn't go, maybe we shouldn't go
James I don't know what your feeling
Are we losing control? Are we losing control?
Are we out of control?

Hey, Its you and me kid
Making History
One way or another
Hey, Its you and me kid
Making History
One way or another
