From the recording Down To The Wire
Lyrics
Twirlin’ your silver rings
And kickin’ your can on down the road
Lightning strikes
And thunder explodes
Come on out of the rain
And hold your hands close to my flame
Somewhere down the line
The wind’ll blow ‘round ya
Like them angels on your side
Cuz it’s another day to be
Down the road recklessly
With strangers talkin’ fast
In a blast and a hurry
You’ve been carvin’ up the wind
With nothin’ but a flask of nasty gin
Ridin’ through them canyons
In the wild and stormy air
It’s been down to the wire
Red sunset on the mile
Truck stops light the night
The sunrise is out of sight
It’s down to the wire
No chains on your tires
Just truck stops and big blue skies
That magic sun
Shinin’ through your eyes
Cuz it’s another day to be
Down the road recklessly
With shadows fadin’ fast
In a ghost of a hurry
You’ve been carvin’ up the wind
With nothin’ but a flask of nasty gin
Ridin’ through them canyons
In the wild and stormy air
It’s been down to the wire
Blue moonset on the mile
It’s a sight that makes you smile
On the road it’s worth your while
Yeah, it’s down to the wire
No chains on your tires
Just truck stops and big blue skies
That magic sun
Shinin’ through your eyes
That magic sun
Shinin’ through your eyes
