[Intro] (whispered) Don't slow down... [Hook] Whiskey, cards and late-night sins That’s the game they’re livin’ in But the road got hold on me I ride it wild, I ride it free Ride… ride… (whispered) Don’t slow down… [Verse 1] Low light glow in a back bar scene Dust on my boots, yeah they cut real mean Dealer shufflin’, knows my name But I ain’t here to play your game She leans in close, says “boy, don’t run” Got that look that comes undone But I hear that engine start to rise And I don’t slow down for no alibis [Build] Neon flickers, hearts run fast One more look, then I fade to black [Hook] Whiskey, cards and late-night sins That’s the game they’re livin’ in But the road got hold on me I ride it wild, I ride it free Ride… ride… Don’t slow down… [Verse 2] Chrome on fire under desert skies White lines run like alibis Every mile cuts clean and deep Freedom ain’t somethin’ you keep No last call and no goodbyes No strings left and no ties If love’s a game, I fold my hand I ride alone through dust and sand [Final Hook] Whiskey, cards and late-night sins That’s the game they’re livin’ in But the road got hold on me I ride it wild, I ride it free Ride… ride… Don’t slow down… Don’t slow down… [Outro] I ride it wild… I ride it free… (whispered) Don’t slow down…
