Engine teeth in the dirt Dust on the windshield, blood on the shirts Bandits lean low in the back Chrome in the dark and a rifle crack Old town behind, we don't look back Tires bite hard on the broken track Mud on the hood, no room for fear We came in loud, now we're still here Hands on the wheel Eyes on the ridge Hear that speed creep up At the edge, at the edge Shout it out Make it shake One more blast Then the whole road breaks The highway runs From the old town To the cliff called happy ending The highway runs From the old town To the cliff called happy ending Gunmetal grin Dust and heat We don't slow down We don't retreat The highway runs To the cliff called happy ending Cars in a swarm like a pack of jaws Machine guns rattling from the passenger doors Swerve through the ruts, kick up stone Every mile says we don't go home Riff in the chest, heel on the floor Bandit prayer at the border roar Ride like a riot, burn like a stain Laugh in the rain, laugh in the chain Hands on the wheel Eyes on the ridge Hear that speed creep up At the edge, at the edge Shout it out Make it shake One more blast Then the whole road breaks The highway runs From the old town To the cliff called happy ending The highway runs From the old town To the cliff called happy ending Gunmetal grin Dust and heat We don't slow down We don't retreat The highway runs To the cliff called happy ending Cliff line rising Black sky split Bandits scream And the engines hit Say my name Then bite that sound One last turn And we go down The highway runs From the old town To the cliff called happy ending The highway runs From the old town To the cliff called happy ending Gunmetal grin Dust and heat We don't slow down We don't retreat The highway runs To the cliff called happy ending Happy ending Happy ending Happy ending
