[English]

I'm going back, back again

Flying solo, only myself to blame

Taking my chances time and time again

Goodbye to you my old friend

'Cause I'm ready to go, this feeling won't stop

Hitting the road, it's all that I've got

It's automatic

Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore

Running from the life I tried to ignore

It's automatic

automatic

Feeling sadness, feeling shame

I've taken the easy way out over and over again

Open road, I'm coming home

I'm free to live, I'm free to roam

'Cause I'm ready to go, this feeling won't stop

Hitting the road, it's all that I've got

It's automatic

Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore

Running from the life I tried to ignore

It's automatic

automatic

Bring it right down, get ready to stop

Turn it right round, go back to the start

Bring it right down, get ready to stop

Turn it right round, turn it right round, turn it right round

Go back to the start

Automatic

automatic

Ready to go, this feeling won't stop

Hitting the road, it's all that I've got

It's automatic

Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore

Running from the life I tried to ignore

It's automatic

automatic
