Seventy-Two Scream

[Intro]
[Verse]
Grease under my cracked nails
Riding on these rusted scales
Chasing down the phantom trails
Blowing past the coffin nails
[Pre-Chorus]
Key ring hanging on the wall
Waiting for the siren call
Seventy-two in a coat of flame
They won't even know my name
[Chorus]
Burn it down to the wire
Setting all the roads on fire
Stealing back my wasted years
Drowning out the small-town fears
[Post-Chorus]
Hear that big block scream
Livin' out a gasoline dream
Gone in a cloud of smoke
This town is just a joke
[Break]
[Verse]
Factory stacks start to fade
Leaving every debt unpaid
Sunlight bleaches what I made
Paystubs flying in the shade
[Pre-Chorus]
Shift it into fourth gear
Leaving every ghost back here
Mirror shows a middle finger
I ain't gonna wait or linger
[Chorus]
Burn it down to the wire
Setting all the roads on fire
Stealing back my wasted years
Drowning out the small-town fears
[Bridge]
Whammy bar dives in my head
Better off wild than dead
Cowbell ringing in the dash
Waiting for the final crash
[Solo]
[Verse]
Old Mrs. Gable’s gonna talk
Watching like a hungry hawk
Let her watch the burning rock
While I break the heavy lock
[Chorus]
Burn it down to the wire
Setting all the roads on fire
Stealing back my wasted years
Drowning out the small-town fears
[Post-Chorus]
Hear that big block scream
Livin' out a gasoline dream
Gone in a cloud of smoke
This town is just a joke
[Outro]
