[Intro] [Guitar slide] [Verse 1] He rolled into town with the dust in his hair A hundred-watt grin and a dangerous stare Got a Gibson guitar strapped tight to his back And a modified engine that screams down the track He don't need a horse when he’s got ninety horses Blazing a trail through his own wicked courses The spark in his eye is a warning to all The bigger they are, the harder they fall [Chorus] Step back, clear the track, get ready to roll He’s got a big block V8 and a renegade soul From the boots on his feet to the sky up above He’s burning through danger, he’s burning through love Hear the engines roar, see the tires spit sparks Leaving his tread on the deep-wooded darks The sky’s turning red, the engines are loud Cowboy’s on fire and he's breaking the crowd! [Instrumental] [Verse 2] He takes his straight whiskey with gasoline chasers A small-town legend to the midnight racers The law is behind him but they can't catch the heat He’s a ghost in the smoke on a single-way street He handles the wheel like a wild bucking bronc Spitting out sparks by the old honky-tonk The asphalt is screaming, the copper pipes wail He’s a line of white lightning leaving a trail [Chorus] Step back, clear the track, get ready to roll He’s got a big block V8 and a renegade soul From the boots on his feet to the sky up above He’s burning through danger, he’s burning through love Hear the engines roar, see the tires spit sparks Leaving his tread on the deep-wooded darks The sky’s turning red, the engines are loud Cowboy’s on fire and he's breaking the crowd! [Bridge] It ain't about money, it ain't about fame It’s the adrenaline rushing right through his veins You can try to contain him, try putting him out But he'll burn down the house without a shadow of doubt! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Step back, clear the track, get ready to roll He’s got a big block V8 and a renegade soul From the boots on his feet to the sky up above He’s burning through danger, he’s burning through love Hear the engines roar, see the tires spit sparks Leaving his tread on the deep-wooded darks The sky’s turning red, the engines are loud Cowboy’s on fire and he's breaking the crowd! [Outro] Yeah, he’s on fire! Watch him burn... Leaving nothing but smoke and ash. [End]
