[Verse 1]
Yeah, I’m blowin’ the doors off this hang-around town
Holdin’ this old gun-metal gray Chevrolet pedal down
Lead foot in a steel-toe
Outrunnin’ the memories, rackin’ up miles
Gettin’ gone as I can, takin’ my chances, spinnin’ that dial
And so far I’m on a roll, yeah, I’m on a roll

[Chorus]
Ain’t nothing gonna kill these horses tonight
But a song like a bullet from a dashboard light
Gettin’ shot through the speakers both left and right, in stereo
Messin’ up my head, playin’ Russian roulette with the radio

[Verse 2]
It’s been touch or go tryin’ to get gone
Couple close calls, but I just call up a station on down the line
Keep that needle in that red line zonе
Yeah, maybe west is bеst, pick up I-85
Chase that settin’ sun 'til it parks in the sky
But hell, I don’t know, only thing I know

[Chorus]
Ain’t nothing gonna kill these horses tonight
But a song like a bullet from a dashboard light
Gettin’ shot through the speakers both left and right, in stereo
Messin’ up my head, playin’ Russian roulette with the radio

[Bridge]
I need a melody without a memory
Take me where I’ve never been
I hear ‘em gunnin’ for me, I feel ‘em huntin’ for me
But I ain’t tunin’ them in
I still ain’t over you, but I can feel it comin'
Kind of like the rhythm to these tires hummin'
That signal comes and goes, I hold my breath and hope nothing

[Chorus]
Nothing's gonna kill these horses tonight
But a song like a bullet from a dashboard light
Gettin’ shot through the speakers both left and right, in stereo
Messin’ up my head, playin’ Russian roulette with the radio

[Refrain]
Messin’ up my head, playin’ Russian roulette with the radio
