Baby I ain't your savior,
ain't coming back without gold.
Baby I take The Hard Road all my life.

One dance is all that it takes,
the rough beats are raising the stakes -
Hot sweat and smoldering eyes
catch fire on hot summer nights.

But these scenes in cold morning light,
I can't lie and tell you it's right,
if you wake up and tell me to stay,
my heart is miles away.

Baby I see the sunrise reflected in all these bright lights,
and I know you feel this.

Baby I need that concrete burning the soles of my feet,
and I've nothing left to hide.

So baby don't you ever turn around,
you'll only see my shadow fade away...

Baby I ain't your savior,
ain't coming back without gold.
Baby I take The Hard Road.

I'm gone with the morning sunrise,
I follow wherever the wind blows,
Baby I take The Hard Road all my life.

You get burned just so many times,
cheap shots and rusty white lines.
You fight back and even the score,
you wake up on dusty white floors.

These dark roads and desperate scenes,
Hot lead and angry machines,
My life is only dead weight,
to flame out in fatal escape.

Deep in the heat of nightime,
I'm lost in the depths of your eyes,
and I feel this heartbeat.

But when I'm pushing it through the redline,
I'll be risking it all for a lifetime.
So until I see that day...

Baby if you ever turn around,
you'll only see my shadow fade away...

Baby I ain't your savior,
ain't coming back without gold.
Baby I take The Hard Road.

I'm gone with the morning sunrise,
I follow wherever the wind blows,
Baby I take The Hard Road all my life.

I'm gone with the morning sunrise.

Baby I take The Hard Road all my life.
