[Verse 1]
Leather jacket zipped up tight against the chill
Staring down the highway past the sleeping hill
Everybody knows him as the solid stone
Working at the diner till the lights go home
He keeps the radio down low inside the Ford
Watching other lovers hand in hand abroad
And nobody ever sees the way he turns his head
To the posters of the rebels by his childhood bed
[Chorus]
Oh, Logan, living in the shadow of the neon sign
Hiding every feeling where the shadows line
He wants to run away and let the engines roar
And ride into the midnight where he’s free once more
With a hand upon the throttle and a man to hold
Breaking every rule they ever wrote in gold
[Verse 2]
Staring at the magazines he keeps locked away
Counting every second till the break of day
Sometimes in the mirror he can see his truth
Burning up the pages of his silent youth
He dreams about the open road, the leather and the heat
Two bodies on a bike out on an empty street
No whispers in the corner, no pretending who he's not
Just running from the secrets and the life he bought
[Bridge]
The town is fast asleep, the highway calls his name
He’s tired of the hiding, he’s tired of the shame
Just kick the starter down and feel the engine scream
Tonight he’s waking up inside a real dream
[Chorus]
Oh, Logan, living in the shadow of the neon sign
Hiding every feeling where the shadows line
He wants to run away and let the engines roar
And ride into the midnight where he’s free once more
With a hand upon the throttle and a man to hold
Breaking every rule they ever wrote in gold
[Outro]
Just ride
Into the dark
With a man to hold
Free at last
[Fade Out]
