The neon heartbeat of the city’s got a jagged rhythm tonight We’re pulling out of Times Square, leaving behind the midtown light Leather jackets catching the reflection of the theater marquees Six chrome plated monsters carving canyons through the city breeze We don’t look for trouble, but we don’t run from the ghost of the call Just a pack of iron shadows painted against the brick and mortar wall. Sixty nine is burning like a fuse tied to the moon We’re chasing down the horizon, yeah, we’ll be there soon Forget the suit and the collar, forget the clock on the shelf We’re heading out to find whatever’s left of ourselves. Chrome under starlight, thunder in the vein Running from the sunlight, riding through the rain. Down the streets, where the asphalt burns like gold Down the streets, leaving stories yet untold From the concrete jungle to the dusty desert line We’re the kings of the highway, just killing a little time Yeah, we’re rollin’ on, past the neon and the heat Just searching for the soul, down the streets. Jersey’s fading in the mirrors, the skyline’s just a memory now We’re trading manicured lawns for the sweat of a furrowed brow The choppers hum a gospel that only the drifters understand A brotherhood of gasoline, sweeping across the promised land Every town’s a stranger, every diner’s a stage for the night We drink the coffee black, and we wait for the morning light. They say the party’s over, they say the summer’s gonna end But look at the horizon, round the jagged river bend There’s a world out there, waiting for the sound of the pipes Breaking all the rules, and crossing all the stripes Just keep the throttle open, let the silence disappear. Down the streets, where the asphalt burns like gold Down the streets, leaving stories yet untold From the concrete jungle to the dusty desert line We’re the kings of the highway, just killing a little time Yeah, we’re rollin’ on, past the neon and the heat Just searching for the soul, down the streets. Down the streets… (Into the haze) Down the streets… (Nothing but road) Yeah, keep it rolling. Just us and the road.
