[Guitar Solo Intro: Slow melodic and smooth bass guitar backing] [Verse 1] Chrome sun sinking in a desert sky Smoke curls up like a battle cry Boot on the dash, heart on the run Amp’s lit up like a loaded gun [Pre-Chorus] Eyes half-closed, but the soul’s wide open Every chord’s a spell that’s been spoken [Chorus] I’m a riff rider, high on the flame Burnin’ through the static, forgettin’ my name Stone-cold groovin’ in a six-string trance Every lick’s a sermon, every solo’s a dance [Verse 2] Vinyl ghosts whisper in the haze Bong hits echo through the purple phase Fuzzed-out thunder in my bloodstream I ride the feedback like a lucid dream [Pre-Chorus] Eyes half-closed, but the soul’s wide open Every chord’s a spell that’s been spoken [Chorus] I’m a riff rider, high on the flame Burnin’ through the static, forgettin’ my name Stone-cold groovin’ in a six-string trance Every lick’s a sermon, every solo’s a dance [Bridge] No map, no master, no rearview regrets Just a power chord prophecy and cigarette threats The gods of groove got me baptized in sound I’m levitatin’ where the lost get found [Verse 3] Ashtray halo, denim throne I’m the king of nowhere, stoned and alone But the speakers preach like holy fire And every riff lifts me higher and higher [Breakdown] Slide through the smoke, bend every note Let the tremolo tremble like a rumble in the throat I ain’t comin’ down, I’m wired to the sky With a wah-wah prayer and a dragonfly high [Final Chorus] I’m a riff rider, stoned and divine Chasin’ the echo past the borderline Turn it up louder, let the heavens shake I’m the hymn in the howl, the high in the break [Outro] So light one up and let the needle drop I’ll be ridin’ riffs ‘til the world goes pop No destination, just a sonic tide Forever and always, I’m the riff rider
