[Intro – spoken/gritty] Yeah… Late night… back road… You know the one… (guitar riff kicks in) [Verse 1] Rollin’ down a dirt track, tyres hummin’ low Radio cracklin’, nowhere else to go Stars all faded, black sky bendin’ tight Then outta nowhere... boom! ... that blinding light [Pre-Chorus] Couldn’t see the gravel, couldn’t see the line Heart started racin’, runnin’ outta time [Chorus + backing vocals] Blinding headlights! ... burnin’ through my soul (hey!) Comin’ round the corner, yeah I lost control (oh!) White-hot lightning, right before my eyes (yeah yeah!) Nearly met the end on that midnight drive Blinding headlights! ... took me by surprise (hey!) Dancin’ with the danger in the dead of night (oh!) Every second flashin’ like a warning sign (yeah yeah!) When them high beams hit ya ... better hold on tight [Verse 2] Foot hit the brake but the wheels just slide Gravel spittin’ sideways, nowhere left to hide Old ute shakin’, engine in despair Felt that rush of panic cut the country air [Pre-Chorus] Didn’t hear a siren, didn’t hear a sound Just them lights tryin’ to take me down [Chorus] Blinding headlights! ... burnin’ through my soul (hey!) Comin’ round the corner, yeah I lost control (oh!) White-hot lightning, right before my eyes (yeah yeah!) Nearly met the end on that midnight drive Blinding headlights! ... cuttin’ through the dark (hey!) Left a ghost of fire branded in my heart (oh!) Every flash remindin’ me I’m still alive (yeah yeah!) After ridin’ through that wild night drive Ooooh… can you see? (see?) Ooooh… what I seen? (seen?) Light so bright it’ll bring you to your knees Say it now! [Bridge] I said ... headlights! (headlights!) Burnin’ bright! (burnin’ bright!) Took my breath in the middle of the night! Headlights! (headlights!) Hold on tight! (hold on tight!) Nearly didn’t make it out alive! [Final Chorus] Blinding headlights! ... burnin’ through my soul (HEY!) Comin’ round the corner, yeah I lost control (OH!) White-hot lightning, right before my eyes (YEAH YEAH!) Nearly met the end on that midnight drive Blinding headlights! ... one hell of a ride (hey!) Left me shakin’, but I’m still alive (oh!) Every flash still burnin’ in my mind (yeah yeah!) From that chaos on the backroad line [Outro-repeat/fade] Blinding headlights… (hey!) Blinding headlights… (oh!) Blinding headlights… (guitar solo fades out)
