| It’s a bend-out, burned-out, bird-hound Saturday night
|
| Under the crimson cut-throat canyon sky
|
| Ah, the city’s on fire but the hills are alive
|
| With the sound of this night
|
| Baby leans close and she whispers she don’t care
|
| She wraps her legs round my waist
|
| Runs her fingers through my hair
|
| She rests her head on these soft tail lights
|
| Feel the world rushing under this bike
|
| Hear the cold highway explode, in rubber and fire
|
| Now the only thing that matters
|
| is this leather cutting through this California wind
|
| She said, «Take me anywhere»
|
| She said, «Take me everywhere»
|
| Everybody’s got someone they don’t wanna be
|
| You don’t wanna be you, I don’t wanna be me
|
| Everybody’s got a plan, everybody’s got a dream
|
| I ain’t got nothing, I just wanna be free
|
| Ain’t much that’s mine, but these boots and this time
|
| Maybe I’ll take you right out of here
|
| Baby, I’ll take you right out of here
|
| I’m a prize fight lover, soul auctioneer
|
| Now the 101 is blacker than a funeral parade
|
| I grab the throttle, left a scar on the interstate
|
| You see, the funny thing about leaving town
|
| You leave something you think you can’t live without
|
| Now we’re heading north, but she’s looking south
|
| She whispered one last request, apologize to the desert wind
|
| She said, «I'll never look back again»
|
| She said, «I'll never look back again»
|
| Everybody’s got someone they don’t wanna be
|
| You don’t wanna be you, I don’t wanna be me
|
| Everybody’s got a plan, everybody’s got a dream
|
| I ain’t got nothing, I just wanna be free
|
| Ain’t much that’s mine, but these boots and this time
|
| Baby, I’ll take you right out of here
|
| Baby, I’ll take you right out of here
|
| I’m a prize fight lover, soul auctioneer
|
| I got you right here, tucked behind my ear
|
| Whisper all your fears and your dreams to me
|
| I can feel you here, I feel your scarred soul speak
|
| With the longing and the nerving and its depth and its need
|
| The night is alive, this voice is a knife
|
| Riding shotgun tonight on your contra-band soul
|
| I got a keen premonition, a wild proposition
|
| Let the smouldering hunger in you explode
|
| She ripped the knife from the scene with a fugitive scream and a gypsy prayer
|
| She said, «Take me anywhere»
|
| She said, «Take me everywhere»
|
| Everybody’s got someone they don’t wanna be
|
| You don’t wanna be you, I don’t wanna be me
|
| Everybody’s got a plan, everybody’s got a dream
|
| I ain’t got nothing, I just wanna be free
|
| Ain’t much that’s mine, but these boots and this time
|
| Baby, I’ll take you right out of here
|
| Baby, I’ll take you right out of here
|
| Baby, I’ll take you right out of here
|
| I’m a prize fight lover, soul
|
| I’m a prize fight lover, soul auctioneer |
