[Verse 1] Twist the throttle hard, feel the heavy steel ignite Twin pipes roaring out across the fading amber light An open desert ribbon stretching far beyond the eye Leaving all the ruins of that empire to die Wind tearing through the leather, cold and clean Your arms around my waist, the tightest grip I’ve ever seen [Pre-Chorus] Your chin against my shoulder, shouting laughter in the gale "Slow down, you crazy idiot, before we crash the trail!" I just kick it into high gear, let the needles climb and scream Fuck their sterile rules, fuck their manufactured dream This heartbeat belongs to us, no one gets to intervene [Chorus] Blasting down the midnight highway, tearing through the plain Shaking off the glory, shaking off the chains Two wild renegades laughing in the storm Nothing left to prove, nothing left to mourn Let the black horizon open wide and bleed This is all the savage, holy romance that we need Just the road beneath our wheels, reckless and free [Verse 2] Neon signs are fading out into the quiet sand Stopping at a rundown pump somewhere in no man’s land You steal the icy soda from my calloused, grease-stained hand Soda dripping down your throat beneath the midnight moon You wipe your mouth and grin at me, humming a crooked tune And I realize this empty dirt is our kingdom and our boon [Bridge] "Hey... you ever look back and regret the fall?" I grab your jacket collar, pulling you against the wall Kiss the question off your lips, feeling your wicked smile "Best damn move I ever made was running every mile with you." [Chorus] Blasting down the midnight highway, tearing through the plain Shaking off the glory, shaking off the chains Two wild renegades laughing in the storm Nothing left to prove, nothing left to mourn Let the black horizon open wide and bleed This is all the savage, holy romance that we need Just the road beneath our wheels, reckless and free [Outro] Twin beams cutting through the dark Engine humming like an honest heart Hold me tight, don't let it slip The road is ours tonight We’re never turning back
