This song is a hard-edged road anthem about running from the past while being relentlessly pulled back by love, rage, and memory. Through bar fights, burning miles, and roaring engines, it captures how some names carve themselves so deep they ride with you in the dark, no matter how far you go.

Song Lyrics

×
(Strophe)
I rolled in late with the engine runnin' hot.
Bar sign buzzin' low like it wanted me to stop.
Boots on the floor, dust shakin' off my past.
Same old place where trouble shows up fast.

Some dude laughin' big, talkin' like he owned the room.
Dropped your name wrong - felt the air go boom.
Next thing I knew, chairs flyin' everywhere.
Metal on my fists and smoke in the air.


(Refrain)
Whiskey on my Breath.
Your name in my head.
Wheels hittin' the night.
Can't shake you right.

Fire in my chest.
Trouble at my heel.
I ride through the dark.
Your name on the steel.


(Strophe)
Hit the road after, blood dry on my sleeve.
Didn't plan on thinkin' 'bout the night I chose to leave.
Highway hummin' low like it knew my Kind.
Tryin' to outrun ghosts you can't leave behind.

Wind in my face, but your voice cut through.
Crawlin' up my spine like it always do.
Thought I needed freedom, thought I needed fire.
But every crooked mile drags me back to that desire.


(Refrain)
Whiskey on my Breath.
Your name in my head.
Wheels hittin' the night.
Can't shake you right.

Fire in my chest.
Trouble at my heel.
I ride through the dark.
Your name on the steel.


(Strophe)
Got steel in my veins but you're louder than the roar.
I've slammed every door but I keep hittin' yours.
If the road's my church, you’re the only hymn I Claim.
Guess I'm wired to the fire of your goddamn name.


(Refrain)
Whiskey on my Breath.
Your name in my head.
Wheels hittin' the night.
Can't shake you right.

Fire in my chest.
Trouble at my heel.
I ride through the dark.
Your name on the steel.


(Strophe)
Ash in my throat.
Cold on my skin.
Your echo hunts me.
Won't let me in.

Black on the road.
Rust in my veins.
I ride through the void.
Still dragging your chains.
