Rolling on the Wire

(Verse 1)

Dust on my boots and the lock is undone

Running straight into the heat of the sun

Left all the scars and the cold in the shed

Nothing but rhythm alive in my head

Got no heavy chain weighing down on my soul

Just twenty-four hours to rock and to roll

(Pre-Chorus)

The stage lights are buzzing, the engine is high

No time to look back at the grey in the sky

The meter is running, the pedal goes down

I’m leaving the shadow of that broken town

(Chorus)

Rolling on the wire, wild and free

Ain’t no yesterday catching up to me

Feel the heavy groove shaking in my bone

Moving like a rolling, restless stone

Yeah, a restless stone!

(Verse 2)

Old man told me I was bound for the floor

Swung his heavy hand right behind the back door

They tried to break me and hand me the blame

Now the amplifiers are calling my name

Behind the backline, drinking with the crowd

The only rule left is playing it loud

(Pre-Chorus)

The meter is running, the hammer comes down

Watch the wheels turning as we tear through the town

(Chorus)

Rolling on the wire, wild and free

Ain’t no yesterday catching up to me

Feel the heavy groove shaking in my bone

Moving like a rolling, restless stone

(Bridge)

Tick of the clock, the hands never wait

No time for regret at the edge of the gate

If the morning breaks me, I’ll push it on through

Burn down the rubble and start it anew

Hear that Gibson scream!

(Guitar Solo / Heavy Bass Groove)

(Chorus)

Rolling on the wire, wild and free

Ain’t no yesterday catching up to me

Feel the heavy groove shaking in my bone

Moving like a rolling, restless stone

(Outro)

No chains, no pain, just the midnight roar

Leaving that sorrow at the barroom floor

Groovin’ till the dawn, groovin’ through the night

Nothing in the rear-view, everything is right

Push it through, push it through

Gone, gone, gone!
