[Verse 1]
Knuckles black
From the week in the garage
Coffee
Smoke
On the workbench with the parts
Late nights
Busted bolts
Cursing underneath my breath
Timing light dancing
Chasing one more breath
[Pre-Chorus]
Oil on my hands
Heart in the plan
Spin that wrench
‘Til the steel understands
[Chorus]
Redline ready
I’ve been living for this
All that grind in the dark for a moment like this
Hear my name in my head like a war-time chant
Redline ready and I won’t back
Won’t back down
[Verse 2]
Pull to the line
Yellow paint under my tires
Helmet clicks
Sweat running under the visor
Left foot shaking
Over clutch and hope
Right foot hovering
On a loaded rope
[Pre-Chorus]
Lights start climbing
Every bulb a dare
Breath held tight
Like there’s no next air
[Chorus]
Redline ready
I’ve been living for this
All that grind in the dark for a moment like this
Hear my name in my head like a war-time chant
Redline ready and I won’t back
Won’t back down
[Bridge]
Bangin’ gears
I’m gone (hey!)
Neck snaps back
I’m on
Each shift
Hit quick
Like a fist through brick
Bangin’ gears
That pull
Every doubt turns dull
If it breaks
It breaks
I was born for this shake
[Chorus]
Redline ready
I’ve been living for this
All that grind in the dark for a moment like this
Hear my name in my head like a war-time chant
Redline ready and I won’t back
Won’t back down
[Outro]
Foot shaking
World waiting
Lights drop
I launch
(bangin’ gears)
