A        D/A       A7     A
Restless nights up for a ride
A           D/A      A7     A
Out of the shadow into the light
    A       D/A      A7      A
I chase my luck, I live my dream
A              D/A       A7      A  E
The engine's screaming "Set me free"
      A       D/A       A7     A
Hot wheels on fire come on, Lucille
 A        D/A            A7        A
Jump the backseat on my horse of steel
G        E
Cheer me up
 G              E
Don't bring me down
 G                E
Don't you let it go

We're gonna rock this town

Hold on tight, let's slip 'n' slide
Ain't got no limit to rock the night
A hot desire, a badass dream
The motor's dirty, the engine's clean

Cheer me up
Don't bring me down
Don't you let it go
We're gonna rock this town

G        E
Cheer me up
G               E
Don't bring me down

We're gonna rock this town

Across the line
You'll see, c'mon, baby
Across the line
Woo woo woo
                    D A E
Yeah, across the line
