Lyrics
(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!
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

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!
