[Intro] (Vocalizing) [Verse 1] Heat waves rising from the broken street Got a heart like thunder with a tired beat Slide cuts the silence like a silver blade I was born in the fire that the night sky made [Pre‑Chorus] Every mile behind me Every shadow on my skin Feels like the world reminds me Where the fire once began [Chorus – für Doro‑Terzen geeignet] Burn the blacktop clean Let the night wash over me Burn the blacktop clean Set my restless spirit free Burn the blacktop clean ’Cause the road is all I’ve seen Burn the blacktop clean Till the dark turns into dream [Verse 2] Cold wind whispering through the open door Got a soul that’s aching but it wants one more Fingers on the fretboard like a quiet prayer Every note a memory hanging in the air [Pre‑Chorus] Every mile behind me Every scar beneath the steel Shows me the fire inside me Still knows how to feel [Chorus – mit weiblicher Terz‑Harmonie] Burn the blacktop clean Let the night wash over me Burn the blacktop clean Set my restless spirit free Burn the blacktop clean ’Cause the road is all I’ve seen Burn the blacktop clean Till the dark turns into dream [Bridge – ruhig, aber intensiv] I’ve been running from the echoes I’ve been chasing down the flame But the road keeps pulling closer Like it’s calling out my name And the fire in the distance Still is burning just for me So I follow through the shadows Till I find who I should be [Final Chorus – groß, offen, Doro‑Harmonie trägt] Burn the blacktop clean Let the night wash over me Burn the blacktop clean Set my restless spirit free Burn the blacktop clean ’Cause the road is all I’ve seen Burn the blacktop clean Till the dark turns into dream [Outro – langsam ausklingen] (Leiser Slide, weite Akkorde, viel Raum)
