Flash! I'm in the coolest driver's high
Towards the best finale! Yeah!
Even if I explode and turn into ashes
I'll probably still be laughing, just like this.
See ya again in the next world, Yeah!

Driver's high

Short form of "the driver's highway."

You've probably heard this expression in the opening theme of Great Teacher Onizuka in which the whole sentece is:

"I'm in the coolest driver's high"

Some people translate that expresion like: "My adrenaline is at its max level right now" but in this case, the meaning is quite literal; it refers to the fact that the person is riding his vehicle on one of the coolest highways ever.

-"Do you like riding your bike at full speed?"
-"Yes, especially on this driver's high, man!"
