Motorcycle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Young blood, old map Two wheels, one pact Crossing towns in the heat Where the road bites back Pack light, keep faith Sleep rough, still grin Every mile peeled a layer Till the truth got in Dust on the notebook Oil on the chain Names in the margin Fading in the rain We were laughing at first Then the silence grew teeth And the world started showing What it hides underneath [Pre-Chorus] See the hills turn gold See the border lines bend Every stop, every face Made us different again [Chorus] Dust and throttle Take me farther Dust and throttle Change my heart Dust and throttle We were not the same By the final bend By the final bend [Verse 2] Hospitals, cold lights Hands that were worn thin A woman with a fever A kid with a grin Rich man, poor man Same sun overhead One had bread in the saddle One had none for the bed I saw anger in the workers I saw fire in the dust I saw history breathing In the people we trust My friend kept the engine I kept the stare We were young and unready But the road made us aware [Pre-Chorus] See the hills turn gold See the border lines bend Every stop, every face Made us different again [Chorus] Dust and throttle Take me farther Dust and throttle Change my heart Dust and throttle We were not the same By the final bend By the final bend [Bridge] One machine, two shadows One night, no sleep The whole wide continent Moving under my feet I left with a hunger Came back with a flame A boy on the saddle A man with a name [Chorus] Dust and throttle Take me farther Dust and throttle Change my heart Dust and throttle We were not the same By the final bend By the final bend
