[Verse 1] Dash light on my hands Ten gallons in the tank Back roads under rain We take the bend too fast Motel signs blur by I know this stretch by heart You laugh through the static And point at the sky [Pre-Chorus] Hold tight, don't blink The night is wide awake Every red brake light Just helps us run away I can feel it now The road is calling me [Chorus] Take me down that midnight road Take me down, don't let go We burn bright in the dark We burn bright in the dark Take me down that midnight road Take me home in the glow We burn bright in the dark We burn bright in the dark [Verse 2] Tape deck on the dash Spinning out our names Tires kiss the wet lines Like sparks in a frame Your hair in the fan wind Your hand on my sleeve Every little mile Feels bigger than the sea [Pre-Chorus] Hold tight, don't blink The night is wide awake Every red brake light Just helps us run away I can feel it now The road is calling me [Chorus] Take me down that midnight road Take me down, don't let go We burn bright in the dark We burn bright in the dark Take me down that midnight road Take me home in the glow We burn bright in the dark We burn bright in the dark [Bridge] If dawn comes early Let it find us moving If the world gets heavy We keep on cruising One more turn One more song One more minute Before it's gone [Final Chorus] Take me down that midnight road Take me down, don't let go We burn bright in the dark We burn bright in the dark Take me down that midnight road Take me home in the glow We burn bright in the dark We burn bright in the dark
