[intro] Chrome on the highway, dust in my teeth Friday night burning like a gasoline dream [verse 1] Got a blacktop rhythm and a bottle on ice Engine screaming louder than bad advice Neon girls leaning in the barroom glow Said “you riding all night?” I said “baby, let’s go” Cheap motel, radio sin Laughing too loud, letting trouble in No clock, no boss, no warning bell Just a long weekend raising hell [pre-chorus] Sun going down, we don’t slow One more round before we go [chorus] It’s rock n roll, sex and drugs Burn it down, don’t give a damn who judges us Full throttle hearts, no control Living fast in a midnight soul Yeah rock n roll, sex and drugs Raise your glass, get a little more lost in us Three damn days, then it’s gone But tonight we ride it all night long [post-chorus] All night long, all night long Yeah we ride it all night long [verse 2] Saturday sweat on a vinyl seat Tattooed kiss and a backbeat heat Whiskey whispers, gravel voice Every bad move feels like the right choice Sunday morning, still half-lit Sun coming up but we ain’t done yet Smoke in the air, boots on the floor Don’t even know what we’re running for [pre-chorus] Time don’t matter, let it slide Monday’s coming, but not tonight [chorus] It’s rock n roll, sex and drugs Burn it down, don’t give a damn who judges us Full throttle hearts, no control Living fast in a midnight soul Yeah rock n roll, sex and drugs Raise your glass, get a little more lost in us Three damn days, then it’s gone But tonight we ride it all night long [bridge] Tuesday morning, alarm goes off Same old shirt and the same old boss Coffee black and the lights too bright Trying to forget every damn good night No more noise, no neon buzz Just a desk and a paper cut buzz But somewhere deep in a backroad mind That engine’s still running all the time [chorus] It’s rock n roll, sex and drugs Fading out like a dream that never was Full throttle gone, back in line Punching in on borrowed time Yeah rock n roll, sex and drugs Now it’s coffee cups and waking up Five damn days till I’m gone Then I ride it all night long [outro] Yeah I ride it all night long Till the weekend calls me home [end] [structure] intro: clean guitar, low energy, gradual build verse: laid-back, behind beat, restrained grit pre-chorus: tighten groove, rising intensity chorus: full energy, big chords, layered vocals post-chorus: chant feel, rhythmic punch bridge: stripped back, dry vocal, slow rebuild outro: relaxed, fade energy, sustained groove
