[Intro]
Strum of a guitar, whispers in the dark
Footsteps echo near the heart of the night
[Verse 1]
Got a six-string howlin’ underneath the streetlight glow,
Got a tank half empty and nowhere left to go.
Boots hit the pavement, thunder in my chest,
I’ve been chasing down tomorrow,
But tonight I need a rest.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the night keeps calling,
Like a train rolling through my soul…
[Chorus]
I’m riding midnight on the highway,
With the devil at my side,
Got the blues in my rearview,
And a fire I can’t hide.
Yeah, the road keeps getting longer,
But I’m gonna ride it strong—
If I can’t find where I’m going,
I’ll just turn this pain into a song.
[Verse 2]
There’s a neon sign flickering in a bar across the town,
Where the old men tell their stories, never putting the crown down.
A cigarette’s burning, and the whiskey’s flowing slow,
Memories of a love I lost, in the smoky undertow.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the night keeps calling,
Like a train rolling through my soul…
[Chorus]
I’m riding midnight on the highway,
With the devil at my side,
Got the blues in my rearview,
And a fire I can’t hide.
Yeah, the road keeps getting longer,
But I’m gonna ride it strong—
If I can’t find where I’m going,
I’ll just turn this pain into a song.
[Bridge]
Stars are burning bridges, fading in the dawn,
Every mile I’ve traveled, every night I’ve gone on.
But these chords are my salvation, the melody’s my prayer,
Pour my heart into the music, lay every burden bare.
[Outro]
So I’ll keep on riding, through the night’s embrace,
With a six-string as my witness, and time I can’t replace.
Till the morning breaks these chains, I’ll play my soul away,
Turning midnight shadows into a sunrise ray.
