[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, syncopated drums] [Verse 1] [gritty male vocals] Life is easy when it's fast No time to check the mirror let the years fly past Doesn't matter how I got here Pour another round Crank that guitar up, burning up this town till there's nothing in my cup [Chorus] [full band, heavy distortion] Pedals down, my motor's rumbling Living loud night after night Whiskey's strong, the drinks keep coming Smoke is clouding out my sight The women wild, the boys are rowdy It's as crowded as can be But when the lights come up, the party dies And what's left is the devil in me [Verse 2] [bass and drums continue, guitar plays staccato chords] Running from the sunrise Sleeping through the day Don't want to see the truth, I'll keep looking the other way Got a pocket full of bad ideas and friends who feel the same We're all just chasing moments, getting seconds, giving days [Chorus] [heavy crash cymbals] Pedals down, my motor's rumbling Living loud night after night Whiskey's strong, the drinks keep coming Smoke is clouding out my sight The women wild, the boys are rowdy It's as crowded as can be But when the lights come up, the party dies And what's left is the devil in me [Bridge] [bluesy electric guitar solo with wah-wah effect] [vocals return, building intensity] A life through the blinds, feel like judgment in my eyes Last night I was ten feet tall, now I'm small as ever lie Got a graveyard full of mornings where I swore I'd make a change But by sundown I'm forgetting and I'm right back in the game [Guitar Solo] [sustained notes, rapid pentatonic runs] [Verse 3] [drums drop to half-time feel, clean guitar arpeggios] Yeah, I laugh like this is living While I'm breaking piece by piece Every shot just buys a moment but the dead don't come for free [vocals transition to a scream] There's a voice inside that's screaming, "Man, you're drowning in the drink" But I choke it down with a whiskey till I don't know what it means [Chorus] [full intensity, driving rhythm] Pedals down but I ain't flying, I'm just running 'cause I'm scared to break Last night I swore I was a legend, but I woke up feeling fake The women wild, the boys are rowdy It's as crowded as can be But when the lights come up, the party dies And what's left is the devil in me [Outro] [guitar feedback, final drum hit]
