Verse 1
Palm trees passing me by as I’m going down,
And I’m drifting, and I’m laughing, and I’m burning.
Palm trees passing me by as I’m going down,
And I’m flying, and I’m falling, and I’m learning.
Verse 2
Three weeks she sat still as death in the dirt,
She breathes again with a violent spurt.
Metal lungs, desert lungs, throttle wide —
No destination on this midnight ride.
Verse 3
Daisies low, subwoofer deep,
Open roads whisper, don’t fall asleep.
101 glows, 60 fades,
Attention or neon shades.
Verse 4
City veins glowing like serpents free,
No radar, no keys — it’s just me.
And the rhythm of the blacktop calls,
Palm trees passing me by as I’m going down.
Chorus
And I’m driving, and I’m driving,
Palm trees passing me by as I’m going down.
And I’m flying, and I’m flying, and I’m flying.
Verse 5
Engine hums a ghostly chord,
Cold state’s gone, the fire’s restored.
Top drops low, wind on my face,
Let me ride till time erases this place.
Verse 6
Mustang dreams in a sepia sky,
Chrome angel wings with a battle cry.
The desert breeze calls out my name,
I ain’t coming back — I’m done with the flame.
Chorus
Palm trees passing me by as I’m going down,
And I’m drifting, and I’m laughing, and I’m burning.
Palm trees passing me by as I’m going down,
And I’m flying, and I’m falling, and I’m learning.
Verse 7
The blacktop sings my soul unchained,
Stars overhead — nothing remains.
Highways whisper, ghosts reply,
But I keep rolling — no goodbye.
Outro
Palm trees passing me by as I’m going down,
And I’m driving, and I’m flying, and I’m burning.
Palm trees passing me by as I’m going down,
No home, no plan, just the open sun.
It’s just me and the Mustang in the open sky —
Palm trees passing me by.
