[Intro] What’s behind you ain’t your business What’s ahead ain’t happened yet Point the hood into the darkness Drive like hell ain’t found you yet [Verse 1] White line running Like a fuse through the night Four wheels howling Where the headlights bite The engine keeps time With the blood in my chest Don’t know where I’m going Only know I can’t rest [Pre-Chorus] No rearview salvation No mercy in reverse The past don’t lose your number It just lets you leave there first [Chorus] Motor on, brother Don’t look back Keep the needle in the red Keep the tires on the black You’re the hunted or the hunter You never know which is which But one thing’s certain in this life Stay the hell out of the ditch Motor on, brother Motor on [Verse 2] I’ve been chased by hunger I’ve been led by want Some nights I’m the animal Some nights I’m what it hunts I feel it in the tree line I hear it in the rain Something always wants your blood Something always knows your name Pre-Chorus There ain’t no safe direction No map can tell you when The thing you’re chasing turns around And starts to chase again [Chorus] Motor on, brother Don’t look back Keep the needle in the red Keep the tires on the black You’re the hunted or the hunter You never know which is which But one thing’s certain in this life Stay the hell out of the ditch Motor on, brother Motor on [Bridge] There ain’t no finish waiting No flag, no judge, no crown The road just keeps on asking Can you keep that hammer down? When the gravel starts talking And you feel the rear end twitch Pull her back across the white line Stay the hell out of the ditch [Breakdown] Hunted or hunter Fang or flesh You don’t get forever You just get what’s next [Final Chorus] Motor on, brother Don’t look back Keep the needle in the red Keep the tires on the black You’re the hunted or the hunter You never know which is which But one thing’s certain in this life Stay the hell out of the ditch Motor on, brother Motor on [Outro] Motor on, brother The road don’t care Let the night keep chasing We’re already there Motor on, brother Don’t look back Keep the engine full of thunder Keep the tires on the black [End] Lyrics © 2026 Paul Pfanner.
