Legends Don't Die, They Drink

[Verse 1] Red dust rising off a broken two-lane Old V-twin singing like it still feels no pain Black leather cut, patch torn at the seam Another dead town, just the ruins and the steam Got a ring on a chain, hangs close to my chest Whisper her name when the sun sinks west Radio static, someone calling my name But the only thing talking is the wind and the flame [Pre-Chorus] I ain’t gone, I’m just riding on the brink If I go down tonight, I know what they’ll think— [Chorus] Legends don’t die, they drink Raise that bottle higher than you think Pour one out for the ones we lost For every mile and every cross We don’t fade out, we sink Into the fire and the ink They can carve our names in stone and let it sink But legends don’t die, they drink [Verse 2] Bar light buzzing in a roadside dive Dead world outside, but in here it’s alive Broken-down jukebox playing something loud Boots on the floor, ghosts in the crowd There’s a biker in the corner with a far-off stare Looks like he’s still riding though he ain’t really there Says, “I lost my brothers out past that ridge” Leaves half a beer warm and walks off the bridge [Pre-Chorus] We toast the gone, standing right on the brink ‘Cause if we stop to feel it, man, we’ll never stop to think— [Chorus] Legends don’t die, they drink Raise that bottle higher than you think Pour one out for the ones we lost For every mile and every cross We don’t fade out, we sink Into the fire and the ink Yeah, the world might end before you even blink But legends don’t die, they drink [Bridge] (heavier, riff-driven) So line up the bottles like bones on a shelf Every scar on my hands, I earned ‘em myself If the reaper wants a ride, he can sit on the back ‘Cause I ain’t laying down, I’m just covering tracks Headlight cutting through the blackout sky If this is my last run, I ain’t asking why Just bury my bike where the blacktop ends And tell ‘em I’m still riding with my dead-ass friends [Chorus – Final / Crescendo] Legends don’t die, they drink Raise that bottle right up to the brink Sing too loud for the ones we lost For every mile and every cross We don’t fade out, we sink Into the stories and the ink When the credits roll and the night goes pink Remember this line when you’re standing at the sink— [Tag] Legends don’t die, they drink Nah, legends don’t die… they drink.
