[Intro – Spoken with grit, clear and loud over a slow, rising instrumental]
“The road don’t forgive… and neither do I.
These wheels roll straight through hellfire and lies…”
⸻
[Verse 1]
Cracked boots, scorched earth under my tread
I’ve danced with the devil, made peace with the dead
Gasoline veins and a thunderstorm soul
Been chasing down demons on cruise control
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Smoke in the rearview, whiskey on my breath
Got a heart full of fight and I ain’t done yet
⸻
[Chorus]
I’ve been runnin’ through hell and highways
Fuelin’ rage with these red dirt Fridays
Chrome scars and a rebel spine
I live on edge, past the county line
I ain’t slowin’ down, I ain’t changin’ lanes
Hell and highways run in my veins
⸻
[Verse 2]
Raised on static, metal and twang
A fistful of fire, a mouth full of slang
Scuffed-up Bible on the dash by chance
I ain’t holy—but I still dance
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Ashes in the wind, thunder in my chest
This outlaw rhythm won’t let me rest
⸻
[Chorus]
I’ve been runnin’ through hell and highways
Fuelin’ rage with these red dirt Fridays
Chrome scars and a rebel spine
I live on edge, past the county line
I ain’t slowin’ down, I ain’t changin’ lanes
Hell and highways run in my veins
⸻
[Bridge – Rap-style break / Nu Metal fire]
Middle finger up to the map and the man
Got grit in my teeth, blood on my hands
I’m the ghost in your mirror at 3 AM
I ain’t the end—but I ain’t your friend
White lines blur in the back of my mind
Pain don’t sleep and neither do I
⸻
[Final Chorus – Big, loud, anthemic]
Yeah, I’ve been runnin’ through hell and highways
Turnin’ scars into songs on Fridays
Chrome scars and a rebel spine
Still screamin’ loud past the county line
I ain’t slowin’ down, I ain’t changin’ lanes
Hell and highways run in my veins
⸻
[Outro – Spoken like the intro, soft but eerie]
“When the fire dies down…
Only the road remains.”
