Scraped knees drag through the dust of this town
Hollow beats echo where our shadows laid down
That fever we stoked in old asphalt fire
Now sputters in smoke but won’t kill the desire
(oooh burning slow)
You got that engine purr in your devil-may-care
And I’m wired to spark when you fix me that stare
One foot on the pedal one hand on the flame
We’ll bend every rule but we won’t break the chain
Never say goodbye where the highway unwinds
Feed the thunder with the grit in our spines
Two souls scorching asphalt ripping through time
Never say goodbye never say goodbye
Tires chew gravel the sunset’s all teeth
Your laugh rips through static cuts sharper than grief
A spark to the powder keg under my skin
We’ll ride straight through hell just to feel it again
Never say goodbye where the highway unwinds
Feed the thunder with the grit in our spines
Two souls scorching asphalt ripping through time
Never say goodbye never say goodbye
The radio bleeds some dead poet’s last stand
Your fingers lock ‘round mine like iron through sand
We’ll crash through the fences where caution signs plead
(through the wires through the wires)
Never say goodbye where the highway unwinds
Feed the thunder with the grit in our spines
Two souls scorching asphalt ripping through time
Never say goodbye never say goodbye
(Burn rubber burn sweet)
Rusted hearts drumming through skeletal streets
(Burn brighter burn free)
A love that eats miles never bows to defeat
