[Verse 1]
Dark night on the highway
Headlights cut the rain
My hands stay on the wheel, babe
Trying to outrun the pain
Black glass in the rearview
No ghosts get in my lane
I wore my scars like armor
Now I wear them again
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that low growl coming
Up from under my skin
I don't fold in the silence
I was born to burn within
[Chorus]
Dark nights, dark nights
I don't back down
Dark nights, dark nights
I shake this town
When the shadows bite
I bite right back
Dark nights, dark nights
On the blacktop track
[Verse 2]
Cold wind in the engine
Salt cuts through my coat
Every wrong turn taught me
How to keep the hope
Your name hits like thunder
Then it fades to gray
I don't beg the night, no
I make it give way
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that low growl coming
Up from under my skin
I don't fold in the silence
I was born to burn within
[Chorus]
Dark nights, dark nights
I don't back down
Dark nights, dark nights
I shake this town
When the shadows bite
I bite right back
Dark nights, dark nights
On the blacktop track
[Bridge]
Let the moon go cold
Let the whole world stare
I got fire in my lungs
And a scarred-up prayer
[Final Chorus]
Dark nights, dark nights
I don't back down
Dark nights, dark nights
I shake this town
When the shadows bite
I bite right back
Dark nights, dark nights
On the blacktop track
Dark nights, dark nights
I won't fade out
Dark nights, dark nights
I roar, I shout
