Night Rider

The Sun is away, the moon is gone,
Out on the road, i'm the only one
I'm driving my car at a 100 miles an hour
I kill the light, because my mind doesn't scar

There are many twists and turns along the way,
Without a helmet or pads, I'm driving away
The wind whispers something in my ears,
"Let go of your baggage, and all your fears"

So i let go of the steering, fate shall have its way,
Life's not been that great anyway,
The Mustang veers off the road, flies off the cliff
The sound of twisting metal makes a beautiful riff.

As i lay on the ground, body broken and contorted,
I remember all who I loved and needed,
The people who fill my albums and my memories,
I take one last gasp, and then I find my peace.

Slowly i turn in my bed, bathed in sweat,
I wake up with a start, "Damn, this is not over yet?",
I pick up the shiny horse, and begin to run,
Rev the engine, step on the gas, drive into the setting sun..
