Gold on the Asphalt

[Intro]
[Verse]
Five AM on the clock
Leaving this dead-end block
Engine starts with a shock
I am never looking back
Suitcase in the back
Fading out to black
[Pre-Chorus]
Rearview mirror shows the ghost
Of the girl I hated most
Now the sky is turning pink
I don't even have to think
Just drive
Staying alive
[Chorus]
Burn it down, let it go
Moving fast, feeling low
Then I hit the open road
And I watch the sun explode
Everything is gold
Stories yet untold
I am finally bold
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, let the rhythm take me
No, they can't break me
Wild and free
Just me
[Verse]
Windows down, feel the rush
Morning air, velvet crush
Neon signs turn to dust
The highway is my stage
Turn the final page
Break out of the cage
[Pre-Chorus]
Wind is tangling my hair
I have oxygen to spare
Every mile is a win
Let the future now begin
Just drive
Staying alive
[Chorus]
Burn it down, let it go
Moving fast, feeling low
Then I hit the open road
And I watch the sun explode
Everything is gold
Stories yet untold
I am finally bold
[Drop]
(Higher!)
(Fire!)
(Let's go!)
[Bridge]
I used to fear the dark
Now I am the lightning spark
Empty lanes and white lines
Leaving all the bad signs
No more small-town talk
Watch me run, do not walk
[Build-up]
Can you feel the beat?
Rising from the street?
Heart is pumping loud
Above the morning cloud
Ready?
Now!
[Chorus]
Burn it down, let it go
Moving fast, feeling low
Then I hit the open road
And I watch the sun explode
Everything is gold
Stories yet untold
I am finally bold
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, let the rhythm take me
No, they can't break me
Wild and free
Just me
[Outro]
