[Sound of a heavy V-twin engine idling and revving low] [Intro] (Heavy bass riff starts, slow driving shuffle rhythm) [Verse 1] I’m done with love, yeah, I’ve officially checked out I’m taking a path that you don’t know a thing about In every pit stop, I got a girl to hold me tight A different flame to keep me warm through every single night Yeah, love was just a glitch, a mistake inside my head I’m chasing down the yellow lines and ghosting you instead. [Chorus] (The Hook) So pack your tears, baby, go and find your perfect match I ain’t the kind of stray that you’re ever gonna catch I’m not your puppy dog, I’m not your little pet I’m the coldest hand of poker that you’ve ever met Quit looking for a slave to worship at your feet I belong to the gravel and the asphalt and the heat. [Verse 2] I’m kicking up the stand, I’m firing up the beast I’m headed for the desert, far away from the east You wanted me to crumble, you wanted me to stay But I’m a midnight rider, a thousand miles away The engine’s got a growl, the chrome is shining bright I’m disappearing slowly in the neon city light. [Guitar Solo] (Slow, weeping blues guitar with distorted harmonica fills) [Bridge] The highway is my palace, the shoulder is my bed I’ve got the wind to whisper all the things you never said A redhead back in Reno left her scent upon my soul But she knows I’m a stone that was only born to roll. [Chorus] So pack your tears, baby, go and find your perfect match I ain’t the kind of stray that you’re ever gonna catch I’m not your puppy dog, I’m not your little pet I’m the coldest hand of poker that you’ve ever met. [Outro] No more chains... just the wind and the gasoline... [Sound of motorcycle accelerating away into the distance] [Fade out] [End]
