White Knuckle Ride

[Verse 1]
Key in the ignition, foot on the floor Leaving the life that I knew before Sheriff is sleeping, the town is dead I got a V8 engine and a price on my head Goodbye to the factory, goodbye to the girl I'm taking my chances out in the world Tires are smoking, screaming my name Playing the dangerously high stakes game

[Chorus]
It's a White Knuckle Ride, holding on tight Racing the devil through the middle of the night Speedometer buried in the red zone Burning the gas and burning the bone Don't look back, just keep it alive Praying to the gods of the overdrive White Knuckle Ride

[Verse 2]
Blue lights flashing miles behind Out of sight and out of mind Radio blasting a rock and roll song Singing about where I don't belong The yellow lines blur into a single stream Living inside of a gasoline dream If I crash and burn, at least I was free That's the only way it's gonna be

[Chorus]
It's a White Knuckle Ride, holding on tight Racing the devil through the middle of the night Speedometer buried in the red zone Burning the gas and burning the bone Don't look back, just keep it alive Praying to the gods of the overdrive White Knuckle Ride

[Bridge]
Shift down. Rev up. Let it scream. Yeah!

[Organ and Guitar Call-and-Response Solo]

[Outro]
Can't catch me now. I'm gone. White Knuckle Ride.
