From the recording TIME STAND STILL
Lyrics
BLACKTOP THUNDER
Terrence Hart
[VERSE]
Mean ol’ Grand with a blackout grin
Turbo twistin’ like a rattlesnake
Steel-belted boots and a bottle of sin
She'll make your redline heartbeat break
[PRE-CHORUS]
No chrome queen sittin’ pretty in a lot
Ain’t no Mustang struttin' with that shine
She’ll smoke you before you take that shot
She’s low, she’s loud — and she's all mine
[CHORUS]
She’s a Blacktop Thunder, midnight-born
Factory demon with a Southern scorn
Streetlights flicker when she screams her name
Burnin' rubber, leavin' smoke and flame
She’s a Blacktop Thunder, midnight-born
Yeah, Blacktop Thunder, midnight-born
[VERSE]
She’s raisin’ hell, but she don’t care
Leave you standin’ still in your own track
Hauntin’ highways like you wouldn’t dare
Lookin’ for blood in the dead of night
[PRE-CHORUS]
Gravel flies when I drop that gear
Boost kicks in like a shot of Jack
She don’t talk sweet, but she growls clear
Every roar says, — “No turnin’ back”
[CHORUS]
She’s a Blacktop Thunder, midnight-born
Factory demon with a Southern scorn
Streetlights flicker when she screams her name
Burnin' rubber, leavin' smoke and flame
She’s a Blacktop Thunder, midnight-born
Yeah, Blacktop Thunder, midnight-born
[BRIDGE]
You can keep your chrome and fancy toys
This one’s sure built for the bad-luck boys
Raised on moonshine and forged in hell
No souped-up ride ever caught her tail
[CHORUS]
She’s a Blacktop Thunder, midnight-born
Factory demon with a Southern scorn
Streetlights flicker when she screams her name
Burnin' rubber, leavin' smoke and flame
She’s a Blacktop Thunder, midnight-born
Yeah, Blacktop Thunder, midnight-born
[OUTRO CHORUS]
She’s a Blacktop Thunder, midnight-born
Factory demon with a Southern scorn
Streetlights flicker when she screams her name
Burnin' rubber, leavin' smoke and flame
She’s a Blacktop Thunder, midnight-born
Yeah, Blacktop Thunder, midnight-born
