Cruising

Sunset bleedin', Harley poppin', rumble in the air, Cruisin' with the crew, feelin' heat on the street, don't care. Yeah, a phantom crown rests heavy, a burden I still bear, This lonely road's long, haunted by a past despair. Summer nights flashin', memories ablaze, Ghosts of yesterday whisperin' through the haze. Engine's a roar, tryin' to drown out the cries, But the darkness descends, and truth in my eyes... THIS IS THE MOMENT! Ocean spray kissin', wind on my face, Lost in the rhythm, ain't no time nor place. Twistin' and turnin', chasing a fading dream, Old bravado shatters, ain't nothin' like it seems. Leather's tight, heart's achin', shades hide the pain, Tomorrow's a question, drivin' in the pouring rain. Palm trees sway silent, witness to my blight, On these concrete veins I once commanded, lost in the night. Rearview's a sunset, future's a blur, Stars up above, feelin' distant and unsure. Cruisin' through shadows, bitter and sweet, Nowhere to run, can't escape the repeat. THIS IS THE MOMENT! Ocean spray kissin', wind on my face, Lost in the rhythm, ain't no time nor place. Twistin' and turnin', chasing a fading dream, Old bravado shatters, ain't nothin' like it seems. Every mile's a memory, every turn a scar, Chasing younger echoes, beneath a lonely star. The asphalt hums a ballad of what used to be, A rebel's wistful freedom, a bittersweet decree. The roaring engine begs me to forget the old score, But the ghosts ride beside me, wanting something more. THIS IS THE MOMENT! Ocean spray kissin', wind on my face, Lost in the rhythm, ain't no time nor place. Twistin' and turnin', chasing a fading dream, Old bravado shatters, ain't nothin' like it seems. See us rollin', shadows in the glare, Highway's my prison, a burden to share. Summer breeze blowin', tryin' to break free, Fast life's a gamble, a legend's misery. Empty echo answerin', this bittersweet ride, Ghost of the streets, nowhere left to hide. Yeah, nowhere left to hide... in this cruisin' life.
