[Verse 1]
Come on, let’s go baby, don’t even pack
This town feels like a cage and honey, I’m not made like that
I can see the maybe in the jasmine of your eye
I’m a Roman candle baby do you have a light

[Chorus]
Put lightning in this Thunderbird till the metal comes alive
The rhythm of the road will give these horses wings to fly
And my true north is anywhere I can leave it all behind
Let’s point this thing west into the chest of the still beating heart of the night

[Verse 2]
I know thе crazy in these words coming from my mouth
But I swear that’s whеre I’m going girl if we don’t leave right now
I’ll be your wildfire you be my Santa Ana wind
Turn every town we never been to into somewhere that we’ve been

[Chorus]
Yeah put lightning in this Thunderbird till the metal comes alive
The rhythm of the road will give these horses wings to fly
And my true north is anywhere I can leave it all behind
Let’s point this thing west into the chest of the still beating heart of the night

[Bridge]
I watched my old man grow older and slower
These factory wages weighing on his shoulders
This town was a boulder that just broke his back
No I ain’t going out like that

[Chorus]
Put lightning in this Thunderbird till the metal comes alive
Yeah, the rhythm of the road will give these horses wings to fly
Yeah, and my true north is anywhere I can leave it all behind
Let’s point this thing west into the chest of the still beating heart of the night

Eric Church

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
