Lyrics
"BLACKTOP PREACHER"
[Intro]
(Engine rumble, guitar riff kicks in)
Yeah... let it roll...
[Verse 1]
Steel horse shakin' under me
Chrome heart, wild and free
White lines blur like a midnight dream
Ain't no boss gonna chain this machine
[Pre-Chorus]
They tried to box me in, told me where to stand
But I lit that fuse with a twist of my hand
[Chorus]
I ride loud, I ride fast
Middle finger to the past
Wind screams like it knows my name
Outrun rules, outpace the blame
Ain't no cage gonna hold my soul
Blacktop preacher, born to roll
[Post-Chorus Hook]
(Blacktop preacher... let it roll)
(Blacktop preacher... heart of chrome)
[Verse 2]
Sun beat down on a rebel road
Dust and gravel where the lost ones go
Every mile's like a truth I find
Leavin' their world a ways behind
[Pre-Chorus]
They can keep their walls and their safe little plans
I got freedom burnin' in both my hands
[Chorus]
I ride loud, I ride fast
Middle finger to the past
Wind screams like it knows my name
Outrun rules, outpace the blame
Ain't no cage gonna hold my soul
Blacktop preacher, born to roll
[Post-Chorus Hook]
(Blacktop preacher... let it roll)
(Blacktop preacher... don't go home)
(Blacktop preacher... don't go home)
[Bridge - Half-Time]
No pulpit, no suit, no tie
Just a red-line prayer under open sky
Every mile's another word I speak
In the gospel of the wild and free
[Breakdown]
(Drums drop, low vocal)
Hear that thunder... feel that sound...
That's a soul that won't back down...
[Final Chorus - Big]
I ride loud, I ride fast
Leave a fire in the miles I pass
Wind screams like it knows my name
I don't run--I rewrite the game
Ain't no cage gonna hold my soul
Blacktop preacher, born to roll
[Outro Hook]
(Blacktop preacher... let it roll)
(Blacktop preacher... heart of chrome)
Yeah... still rollin'...
Ride like thunder, live untamed
No regrets and no one to blame
Gasoline runs through my veins
Freedom burns, I love the flame
