Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] I’ve got the spark, [C] I’ve got the fight,
[G] Under the hood, [D] in the dead of night.
[G] Screaming tires on the [C] asphalt cold,
[G] Echoing the stories [D] we’ve never told.
(Verse 2)
[G] Grit and grease under [C] my nails,
[G] Through the rust, love [D] prevails.
[G] This engine roars with [C] a beastly sound,
[G] Heading to a place where [D] we’re freedom-bound.
(Chorus)
[G] Ignition, [C] set us free,
[G] From the chains, [D] let us be.
[G] With every gear we [C] shift, we fly,
[G] In this steel bird, [D] through the night sky.
(Chorus repeats)
