I'm headed for the border
It's on my mind
And nothin' really matters
I've got to be on time
Look in the view mirror
Is he hot on my tracks
Is he getting nearer
I feel some heat is on my back

[Chorus]
(Speed demon)
Speedin' on the freeway
Gotta get a lead way
(Speed demon)
Doin' it on the highway
Gotta have it my way
(Speed demon)
Mind is like a compass
I'm stoppin' at nothin'
(Speed demon)
(He say) Pull over boy and get your ticket right

And nothin' gonna stop me
Ain't no stop and go
I'm speedin' on the midway
I gotta really burn this road

[Chorus]

Speed demon, you're the very same one
Who said the future's in your hands
The life you save could be your own
You're preachin' 'bout my life like you're the law
Gonna live each day and hour like
For me there's no tomorrow

Go! Go! Go! Aaow!

[Chorus]

    My Opinion:Artistically and sonically speaking I think Mike tapped into something that sets this song apart form all the other great songs he created. The music and words strike an emotion only a basket full of songs transpire. Great Song!!!

    General Comment:I cant remember where I heard it from, but Michael got busted for speeding and he was rather wound up about it. He was running late getting to the studio, then when he got there someone said to him to write a song about it, about how he felt. Guess it could double for paparazzi and insane fans of his. =P

    General Comment:I like how he molests a child during the Chorus:

    Pull Over Boy
    And Get Your Ticket Right
    Ugh!
    Aaow!
    Uhh!
    Hoo!
    Get Your Ticket Right

    Just kidding Micheal...
    I'm geussing the song's about someone in a high-speed chase of some sort.
