[Verse 1]
Keys in the cup
Coin in the ash
You lit the fuse
Now we’re gone in a flash
Mirror full of blue
Hands white on the wheel
Backseat rattling
Every turn feels real
[Pre-Chorus]
Stay down, baby
Hold that breath
We got one shot
And it’s all we left
Tires scream
Gravel flies
I see your face
In the windshield light
[Chorus]
Burn, muscle car (burn, muscle car)
Don’t look back now
Burn, muscle car (burn, muscle car)
We shake this town
Blacktop king
Cold steel grin
Burn, muscle car
And let the night give in
[Verse 2]
Ash on my tongue
Mud on your shoes
We blew past the diner
Past the county blues
Fence line bent
Gate hit hard
Your laugh went wild
When we crossed that yard
[Pre-Chorus]
Stay low, baby
Lock that door
Hear that howl
From a mile or more
One more block
Then we cut the bend
If they’re on our tail
We outrun the end
[Chorus]
Burn, muscle car (burn, muscle car)
Don’t look back now
Burn, muscle car (burn, muscle car)
We shake this town
Blacktop king
Cold steel grin
Burn, muscle car
And let the night give in
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Oil-slick road
White-knuckled prayer
Your hair in my face
Cold wind everywhere
One red flash
Then it’s gone
Punch it harder
Till the fear is off
[Final Chorus]
Burn, muscle car (burn, muscle car)
Don’t look back now
Burn, muscle car (burn, muscle car)
We shake this town
Blacktop king
Cold steel grin
Burn, muscle car
And let the night give in
Burn, muscle car (burn, muscle car)
We’re gone, we’re gone, we’re gone
