I Need The Ride
That rumble hits deeper than any woman ever could
Throttle twisted, blood like fire, don’t need to be understood
It’s not about the destination, hell it’s not even the road
It’s the shake in my spine, the weight I unload
No shrink, no saint, no god in sight
Just steel and smoke, my kind of right
I need the ride like lungs need air
Raw wind cuttin’ through my wear
She’s got two wheels and a black steel heart
She owns my soul and tears me apart
I need the ride, it ain’t a choice
It’s the only time I find my voice
City lights fade, my mirrors lie
Can’t see the past when I’m ridin’ high
Every turn, I bleed a little sin
Every mile, I lose what could’ve been
No meds, no past, no plan to cope
Just a tank full of rage and a thread of hope
I need the ride like booze needs heat
Like sinners pray and liars cheat
She don’t talk back, but she screams for more
Burns my thighs and shakes my core
I need the ride, I can’t unwind
Till I’m lost in her curves and outta my mind
She don’t judge, don’t ask, don’t wait
She just takes me, fast and straight
And when the world’s too much to bear
I find my church in that engine’s prayer
I need the ride like hell needs flame
Ain’t about freedom, it’s about staying sane
She’s my fix, my fight, my fucked-up truth
I’ve been chasin’ her since my reckless youth
I need the ride, don’t ask me why
Just twist that key and let me fly
