I grip the damp and heavy street
I feel the rhythmic engine beat
I spin a circle in the gray
I chase the ghosts of yesterday
The yellow lines are blurred and thin
I feel the cold wind on my skin
I taste the salt and midnight dew
I push the needle straight and true
Humming on the wet asphalt tonight
Slicing through the gold street light
Slipping fast where the edges bend
Racing where the highways end
I press the oil and feel the heat
I make the city pulse complete
I leave a streak of charcoal ink
I move before the headlights blink
Humming on the wet asphalt tonight
Slicing through the gold street light
Slipping fast where the edges bend
Racing where the highways end
Hold the curve and lean into the turn
Feel the friction start to glow and burn
One long stretch of open silver air
Flying past the world without a care
The water sprays a sudden mist
A sudden turn a sudden twist
I wrap the road around my frame
I play the high and heavy game
The concrete sings a low refrain
I wash away the summer stain
I keep the steady rolling pace
I win the lonely midnight race
Humming on the wet asphalt tonight
Slicing through the gold street light
Slipping fast where the edges bend
Racing where the highways end
Black rubber glide.
Just a black rubber glide.
Rolling home.
