[Verse 1]
Come on, let's go, baby, don't even pack
This town feels like a cage, and, honey, I'm not made like that
I can see the maybe in the jasmine of your eye
I'm a Roman candle, baby, do you have a light?
[Chorus]
Put lightnin' in this Thunderbird 'til the metal comes alive
The rhythm of the road will give these horses wings to fly
And my true north is anywhere I can leave it all behind
Let's point this thing west, into the chest of the still-beating heart of the night
[Verse 2]
I know thе crazy in these words comin' from my mouth
But I swear that's whеre I'm goin', girl, if we don’t leave right now
I'll be your wildfire, you be my Santa Ana wind (Santa Ana wind)
Turn every town we never been to into somewhere that we've been
[Chorus]
Yeah, put lightnin' in this Thunderbird 'til the metal comes alive
The rhythm of the road will give these horses wings to fly
And my true north is anywhere I can leave it all behind
Let's point this thing west, into the chest of the still-beating heart of the night
[Bridge]
I watched my old man grow older and slower
These factory wages weighin' on his shoulders
This town was a boulder that just broke his back
No, I ain’t goin' out like that
[Chorus]
Put lightnin' in this Thunderbird 'til the metal comes alive
Yeah, the rhythm of the road will give these horses wings to fly (Horses wings)
Yeah, and my true north is anywhere I can leave it all behind
Let's point this thing west, into the chest of the still beating heart of the night
