You grip the wrench with shaking hands
The gas pump hums across the sands
You tighten bolts to keep it tight
Under the buzz of yellow light
You check the gauge for one last read
The metal screams a hidden need
You pour the juice to make it fly
A silver streak against the sky
Burn the rubber, break the chain
Wash the city from your brain
Nitro glow in every vein
Run until you lose the pain
The tires spin in circles wide
You take the curve on one long slide
The asphalt burns a charcoal grey
You drive the ghost of home away
Burn the rubber, break the chain
Wash the city from your brain
Nitro glow in every vein
Run until you lose the pain
Cold steel skin and oil stains
Breaking all the heavy reins
One last shot to clear the air
Take the risk and take the dare
The pedal drops, the engine roars
You open up the hidden doors
The crossroads blur in a sudden rush
The midnight air is a velvet crush
You snap a shot of the empty road
The heavy heart is a lighter load
The engine clicks as the heat descends
This is where the lonely highway ends
Burn the rubber, break the chain
Wash the city from your brain
Nitro glow in every vein
Run until you lose the pain
Just keep driving.
Nitro glow.
One more mile.
