“Born to Burn the Road” - SteelWrath
(Intro) (spoken word) Are you ready RIG Nation ... let's fucking do this Nation ... Verse 1 The highway hums like a preacher With a sermon made of steel I left my name in the rearview And my heart beneath the wheel No gold watch, no good reason No roots beneath my boots Just a map full of bad choices And a pocket full of truth The dust gets in my bloodstream The moon keeps calling low Some men were built for fences I was born to go Pre-Chorus Call me runaway Call me wasteland son Call me trouble in the headlights I was never made to run Chorus I was born to burn the road With a fire in my soul Where the blacktop cracks That’s where I take control I got thunder in my bones And nowhere I belong Where I lay my head tonight That’s home until I’m gone Born to burn the road Yeah, I ride alone But I ain’t lonely When the wild wind knows my name Verse 2 The desert wears my shadow Like a crown against the sand Every town becomes a memory Every mile becomes a man I traded chains for silence Traded comfort for the stars Got a suitcase full of nothing And a chest full of scars No altar and no master No kingdom and no throne Just the rumble of the engine And the dark unknown Pre-Chorus Call me drifter Call me reckless pride Call me ghost on the white line With the devil by my side Chorus I was born to burn the road With a fire in my soul Where the blacktop cracks That’s where I take control I got thunder in my bones And nowhere I belong Where I lay my head tonight That’s home until I’m gone Born to burn the road Yeah, I ride alone But I ain’t lonely When the wild wind knows my name Bridge Some need walls Some need chains Some need someone else to blame Some need crowns Some need gold I need miles before I’m old Let the rain come Let the sky fall I’ll be laughing through it all If I die beneath these stars Tell the road she owns my heart Breakdown / Crowd Chant Born! To burn! Born! To burn! Born! To burn the road! Lead vocal: Wherever the night takes me! Crowd: Burn the road! Lead vocal: Wherever the wind breaks me! Crowd: Burn the road! Guitar Solo Section Long desert-metal solo here — sitar-style intro lick if Suno can pull it off, then big 80’s melodic bends, wah guitar, and arena sustain. Final Chorus I was born to burn the road With a fire in my soul Where the blacktop cracks That’s where I take control I got thunder in my bones And nowhere I belong Where I lay my head tonight That’s home until I’m gone Born to burn the road Yeah, I ride alone But I ain’t lonely When the wild wind knows my name Outro Carve it deep in stone Under dust and chrome My body may fall But my spirit won’t grow old Born to burn the road Born to burn the road Where the wild wind knows my name I’m already gone I’m already gone
