Story Behind The Song

Another piece written by request of a local hotrod car club.

Song Description

Slow, pulsing, calm, quiet, alive.... L.A.-style rock, with a soft delivery and a dark mood.

Lyrics

WHEN I?M IN THE MOOD, WHEN THE FEELIN? IS RIGHT
I MELD WITH MY MACHINE, AND I ROAR OFF INTO THE NIGHT
INTO THE SILENT DESERT, BENEATH A MILLION STARS
THE CRESCENT MOON TRANSFORMS THE ARID LANDSCAPE INTO MARS

THE DRUMMERS? PULSE POUNDS IN MY HEAD, MY RIGHT HAND?S SHIFTIN? GEARS
THE RADIO?S ON CLEAR FM, IT?S FILLING IN MY EARS
?SHANK & THE 4 C?S? SINGING, ?GIMME BACK MY 409?
I?M EATING UP THE ASPHALT NOW, IT?S RED-LINE OVERDRIVE

CHORUS

DRIVIN, DRIVIN? THROUGH THE NIGHT ? WASH AWAY MY FEARS NOW
DRIVIN?, DRIVIN? THROUGH THE NIGHT ? DON?T WANT NO MORE TEARS NOW
DRIVIN?, DRIVIN? THROUGH THE NIGHT ? YEAH, MY FREEDOM?S FOUND NOW
DRIVIN?, DRIVIN? THROUGH THE NIGHT ? NOTHIN? CAN BRING ME DOWN AT ALL

SOLO

THE MILES SLIP BENEATH ME, THE ENGINE?S SOUNDIN? SWEET
THE HIGHWAY GENTLY ARCS AROUND AND HEADS OUT TO THE EAST
AHEAD UP IN THE DISTANCE, THERE WARMS THE FAINTEST GLOW
NOW SUNRISE FORCES BACK THE DARK, IT?S TIME TO CRUISE FOR HOME

MY MIND IS CLEARED OF ALL ITS? WEIGHTS, FREE ON THE OPEN ROAD
THE STRESS AND PRESSURES OF THE DAY, FALL BACK FROM OVERLOAD
BEHIND THE WHEEL, ALL I FEEL IS SIMPLE AND SERENE
THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD, I SEE A VIEW OF LIFE AS IT SHOULD BE

CHORUS
