[Intro] [Rock Guitar Intro] [Heavy distorted guitar riff with industrial drums] [Slow build into a crushing groove] [Verse 1] Back in the day when the world felt young Every new road was a race we won Running through the streets when the daylight faded Dreaming big, never feeling jaded Pocket full of change, shoes full of dirt Laughing at the trouble, forgetting the hurt Radio blasting, windows down low Chasing every place that we wanted to go No plans made, no map in hand Just a bunch of kids with a fearless plan Those were the times that shaped who we are Small town dreams but we strive for more [Verse 2] We had late nights and a garage full of sound Turning up the volume, shaking the ground Making up songs like we owned the stage Writing our names on a brand new page Every weekend had a story to tell Every memory was a wishing well Riding around with the crew by our side Nothing to lose and nowhere to hide Then the years came fast and the seasons changed Different directions, different lanes But I still laugh when I think back then Those were the days with my closest friends [Chorus] When its time to Ride Let the Engines roar I got beats in the Trunk and speakers in the door I put pen to paper and I wrote it for yall For the memories we made and the moments we recall When its time to Ride Let the Engines roar No matter where we end up anymore We grew apart but the memories stay It's all good, I'll catch you another time someday [Verse 3] Now we got jobs and bills to pay Trying to make it through another day Some went left and some went right Some disappeared out of sight But the memories remain in the back of my mind Like a favorite song from another time Different towns and different views Different battles that we all push through Still got respect for the roads we crossed Still got love for the ones not lost Cause every chapter that came before Built the person standing here once more [Verse 4] So if you're somewhere chasing your dreams Living life through the ups and extremes Know that I remember the times we shared All the laughs and the times we cared We don't need to talk every single day Some connections never fade away Years go by but the truth remains Old school friends through the changing days So keep moving forward, keep holding strong Keep writing your story, keep singing your song If our paths cross, we'll pick up the ride Like no time passed on the other side [Chorus] When its time to Ride Let the Engines roar I got beats in the Trunk and speakers in the door I put pen to paper and I wrote it for yall For the memories we made and the moments we recall When its time to Ride Let the Engines roar No matter where we end up anymore We grew apart but the memories stay It's all good, I'll catch you another time someday [Bridge] Maybe life pulled us different ways Maybe we changed with the passing days But every mile and every turn Leaves a lesson that we learn From the first song to the final ride The old memories stay inside No regrets and no goodbye Just another road beneath the sky [Guitar Solo] [Fast 90s Metal Guitar Solo] [Shredding lead guitar] [Rapid scales, sweep picking, melodic bends] [Progressive metal harmonies and blazing runs] [Outro Verse 1] Raise a glass to the years gone by To the old days underneath the sky To every laugh and every mistake Every chance and every choice we made The road keeps rolling, the story goes on New generations sing their own songs But I'll always remember the time When those old friends were right by my side [Outro Verse 2] So if you hear this and think of the past Remember the moments that always last The world keeps changing, that's how it goes Everybody grows as everybody knows But somewhere back in those younger days We found our rhythm, we found our way It's all good, no need to pretend I'll catch you another time, my friend [Bridge] Maybe life pulled us different ways Maybe we changed with the passing days But every mile and every turn Leaves a lesson that we learn [Guitar Solo] [Final Explosive Metal Solo] [Fast shredding scales with melodic 90s metal style] [Heavy progressive ending with soaring lead guitar] [Outro] [Industrial drums fade] [Heavy guitars slowly disappear]
