Verse 1
Hold me like water when the river is wild,
Need me like sun in the winter night.
Watch me forever when the end is near,
Take the fool who’ll know the light.
Verse 2
Make my story the story they tell,
Let my glory blaze straight through hell.
One last ride, who’s on my trail?
She can’t be real — leather and steel.
Chorus
Hit you like water when the river is wild,
Need me like sun on an endless night.
Watch me tomorrow when yesterday comes,
Leave the fool — he knows the fight.
Verse 3
She’ll drag me from the water when the river is wild,
I’ll keep her like sun lost in white.
Watch us forever, see what’s to come,
She’ll keep the fool in her heart’s fight.
Bridge (slow, clean then explodes)
Leather and steel cut through the flood,
Two broken ghosts trading blood for blood…
No light without the dark we crave.
Final Chorus (full roar, ad-libs)
Hit you like water when the river is wild,
Need me like sun on an endless night.
Watch us forever when the end draws near,
Glory blazin’ — fools ridin’ into the fight.
Outro (fading slide + distant thunder)
Yeah… she can’t be real. Leather and steel.
