Red Lights Behind Me

Verse 1

Red lights behind me but I'm gone

Four tires screaming on the wet blacktop

Heat on my back like a steady drum

Motor's a heartbeat that won't stop

Cop radio chatter through the static

I hit the gas till the needle bends

Every rearview's a bad rerun

This is how a Friday story ends

Pre-Chorus

Kick it down

Down the empty boulevard

Kick it down

Turning every hope to scars

Chorus

Run run run through the city cracks

They want a name and I won't come back

Spin the wheel and I chase the moon

Caught me good but I got loose

Verse 2

Left turn broke through a chain-link fence

Right turn blew a signal clean

Oil slick smell on my shaking hands

Night too loud to be a dream

They got choppers and they got more

But a corner always waits around

Pursuit gonna lose my shadow soon

Swapping headlight beams for quiet ground

Pre-Chorus

Kick it down

Down the hollow railroad line

Kick it down

Any route that keeps me mine

Chorus

Run run run through the city cracks

They want a name and I won't come back

Spin the wheel and I chase the moon

Caught me good but I got loose

Bridge

Seatbelt locked and the engine heats

Sirens fading into morning streets

Almost free

Skid my ghost across the concrete

Chorus

Run run run through the city cracks

They want a name and I won't come back

Spin the wheel and I chase the moon

Caught me good but I got loose

Caught me good

I got loose
