classic rock

[Intro – distorted guitar riff, steady hi-hat] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – raw guitar strum, rumbling bass line] I got a cracked leather seat and a radio hum Map in my pocket where the wild roads come Dust on my boots from the miles I’ve crossed Ain’t looking for answers, just a place to get lost [Chorus – soaring guitar lead, crashing cymbals] Neon highway blues, under the moon’s cold glow Every mile I drive, I let the old ghosts go Engine’s a-roaring, my heart’s on the mend Neon highway blues, gonna take me to the end [Verse 2 – slide guitar accent, punchy snare] Stopped at a diner where the coffee’s too black Met a girl with a story that took me right back She said “Son, you’re running from what you can’t find” I smiled and said “Honey, I’m just killing time” [Chorus – layered vocals, thicker guitar chords] Neon highway blues, under the stars that shine Every song I sing, I leave the past behind Wheels keep on turning, my soul’s on the mend Neon highway blues, gonna take me to the end [Solo – blistering guitar solo, reverb-drenched] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – stripped-back acoustic guitar, soft vocals] I passed a church where the bells were ringing low Thought about the life that I used to know But the road’s got a hold that I can’t break free This neon highway’s where I’m meant to be [Final Chorus – full band, maximum intensity] Neon highway blues, under the endless sky Every bridge I cross, I let the old wounds die Engine’s a-roaring, my heart’s finally mend Neon highway blues, gonna take me to the end [Outro – fading guitar riff, slow drum fade] (Instrumental Solo)
