Hell YEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
KICK IT IN HIGH GEAR
[Instrumentation: Distorted guitar, thunderous drums, bass groove, wailing vocals]
---
[Intro – Guitar Riff]
[Chords: E5 – G – A – C – D – E5]
[Heavy, chromatic riff with slides and bends. Gritty blues-rock tone. Bonham-style drums crash in]
---
[Verse 1 – Male Vocals]
[Chords: E5 – G – A – C – D – E5]
Midnight wheels burnin’ down the blacktop road
Ghost in the rearview, ain’t got no soul
Pedal to the fire, I’m alive in the flame
Runnin’ from the voices that scream my name
High-beam eyes, and a dead man’s grin
I ain’t slowin’ down — I was born in the sin!
---
[Chorus – Male Lead with Harmonized Shouts]
[Chords: E5 – C – D – E5]
Ride fast! Let the thunder roll!
Red lines feed my breakneck soul!
Ride fast! Let the angels cry!
Ain’t no brakes when you’re born to fly!
[Echo:]( “Born to fly!”)
---
[Guitar Riff Break]
[Chords: E5 – G – A – E5 – C – D – B7 – E5]
[Wah pedal licks, bends, squeals — gritty blues-rock soloing]
---
[Verse 2 – Male Vocals]
[Chords: E5 – G – A – C – D – E5]
Shifting gears like I shift through sin
Devil on my shoulder just whisperin’
“Floor it, boy, don’t you dare look back”
Heart like a hammer on a railroad track
I chase the line where the sky meets hell
Got fuel in my veins and I burn it well!
---
[Chorus – Reprise]
[Chords: E5 – C – D – E5]
Ride fast! Let the thunder roll!
Tearin’ holes through the world I stole!
Ride fast! Let the angels cry!
Ain’t no cage gonna clip this high!
[Echo]: (“Clip this high!”)
---
[Bridge – Instrumental | Time Sig: 6/8]
[Chords: Em – C – B7]
[Psychedelic jam — fuzz solo, bowed guitar or wah licks, layered with crashing tom fills.]
---
[Verse 3 – Spoken + Screamed Vocals]
[Chords: E5 – G – A – C – D – E5]
[Spoken]
“You ever feel the road breathe beneath ya?”
“It don’t carry you — it dares you.”
[Screamed]
“And I accept!!”
Rippin’ past the law like a loaded round
No god, no judge, just the engine sound
Screamin’ through the turns like a runaway sin
The end ain’t near — it’s where I begin!
---
[Final Chorus – Double Time]
[Chords: E5 – C – D – E5]
Ride fast! Let the thunder roll!
Red lines feed my breakneck soul!
Ride fast! Let the sky fall wide!
I’m the storm and I’m here to ride!
---
[Outro – Guitar Solo / Fade Out]
[Key: E Minor]
[Solo explodes with bends, harmonics, tremolo picking.] [Vocals echo]: “Ride fast… breakneck soul… never slow…”
