"Speed" is a single by American country music duo Montgomery Gentry. It was the second single from their 2002 album My Town. The title from the cover of this single borrows its font from Speed Racer.
"She Couldn't Change Me" was included as a B-side.
The music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy. A young man trades his old truck for a car with speed as his truck just brings back memories of his ex-lover. He buys the car, then he drives the car really fast, but as he keeps seeing the memory of his ex-lover on the road, he jumps out of the car, and then he heads out running into the field. The duo is performing the song in the middle of a two-lane road at a night time setting.
"Speed" debuted at #57 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs for the week of December 28, 2002.
