(oh) Hold the line tonight
Cold wind in the wire
Street sign lean and the siren burn low Boots on the curb
where the hard roots grow Smoke in the lane and a tax
on breath Same old grin on the face of debt I keep
my step when the night gets rough
Jaw set hard when they call that bluff Hands stay clean but
the pressure stains Still that fire run hot in the veins
They hold the gate but they can't hold me Lock that road
but I still see free
When the whole place bends,
I don't break down No bright lie gonna cover me
I ride the
offbeat honestly Dark wheels turn but I stay upright Bubble and fire
through the longest night No bright lie gonna cover me I ride
the
offbeat honestly Paper crown crack when the rain comes through Gold paint
peel and the rust shows true Talk get cheap when the rent
runs red Truth sits plain in a narrow bed
Young hearts learn what the hard days cost Count one win for
a dozen lost
Still we mark every beat with spine Still we drag some hope
through time If they dim the room
We burn more steady
If they press that weight We stand more ready No bright lie
gonna cover me I ride the offbeat honestly Dark wheels turn but
I stay upright Bubble and fire through the longest night No bright
lie gonna cover me I ride the offbeat honestly Through the longest
night Still upright (oh)
