What Speed Bumps?

Verse 1

She was drivin’ down a back road, smile across her face
I saw that yellow warning sign and started sayin’ grace
I grabbed the door, I grabbed the seat, said, “Girl, you gonna slow?”
She laughed and hit the gas a little harder
Said, “Hang on, here we go!”

Pre-Chorus

I said, “Those things are there for a reason!”
She just laughed and turned it up
I said, “You’re supposed to hit the brakes!”
She said, “What speed bumps?”

Chorus

What speed bumps?
I don’t see ’em
Life throws one my way
I just roll right over ’em
No slowing down
No giving up
You can call ’em obstacles
I call ’em little jumps
Everybody else hits the brakes
But me?
What speed bumps?

Verse 2

Then I started thinkin’ maybe she’s got life figured out
We spend too much time slowing down for fear and worry, doubt
Every road gets rough sometimes, every dream gets stuck
Maybe you don’t need another detour
Maybe you just need some guts

Pre-Chorus

When the world says, “Better be careful”
When the road gets torn and tough
Some folks stop and turn around
She says, “What speed bumps?”

Chorus

What speed bumps?
I don’t see ’em
Life throws one my way
I just roll right over ’em
No slowing down
No giving up
You can call ’em obstacles
I call ’em little jumps
Everybody else hits the brakes
But me?
What speed bumps?

Bridge

Heartbreak — bump
Bad luck — bump
Dream falls apart — fire it back up
Doors slam shut — find another one
Road gets rough — make it more fun
You can spend your whole life
Scared of getting stuck
Or throw your hands up in the air and yell—
WHAT SPEED BUMPS?!

Final Chorus

What speed bumps?
Bring ‘em on
I’ve been down enough rough roads
To know you just keep moving on
Laugh a little louder
Love a little more
When life puts something in your way
That’s what the wheels are for
Everybody else can hit the brakes
And worry ‘bout getting stuck
I’m gonna smile, hold on tight
And say…
What speed bumps?

Outro

Now when she’s driving, I still grab the door…
Some life lessons don’t need repeating.
What speed bumps?
