Come on baby just ride with me

Nu nalkas de ljusa ljuva sommarnätterna, sommarnätter i vilka jag vet att jag många gånger kommer att rulla hemåt eller mot annan destination på väg från dans, antingen på fyra jul i SEM600 eller på min tvåhjuliga Diversion. Vissa av dessa resor kommer att vara i sällskap med andra medan andra kommer att ske i ensamhet, oavsett vilket så älskar jag oftast dessa nattliga körningar.

Ibland kan tröttheten börja göra sig påmind och för att förhindra sådant brukar jag låta musik ackompanjera färden, främst vill jag då höra tung härlig rock på ganska hög volym, musik med själ men främst också med driv som liksom bär mig genom natten.

Ikväll på hemväg från Aspåsnäset fann jag ett av sommarens garanterade nattkörningssoundtrack, "Living on the outside" med Meat Loaf från nya plattan "Hang cool teddy bear". På den plattan återfinns fler låtar som likaså lär komma att ljuda ur mina bilhögtalare eller hörlurar i sommar, men spår #2 är den klockrena bilkörningslåten.

Living on the outside

I've got steel on my fingers, granite on my breath
A bottle in one ear and a spike in my chest
A nickel in my boot and my finger in a damn
I hang out with a bunch of losers I call my friends, and we sing

Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh

But I'm headin' out today, I'm goin' down Elijah's way
Spinnin' wheels on fire, with my speed needle between my jeans
So darlin', show me what you're hiding behind that ring
Behind your pink silhouette, young lust balcony

Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me

We got two-thousand miles between here and home
They won't even know we're gone
I got mama's smile and my daddy's gun
You got your honest face and your liars tongue

Until Armageddon takes me
It's just you and me baby
Runnin' like the only sinners left
Loving like the only sinners left
Livin' like the only sinners left alive

Livin' on the outside

I've got one shot to steal this world
If you wanna go with me you can be my girl
Here's a bullet for your thoughts and a penny for the train
Next time I'm here they'll be diggin' my grave

Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me

We got two-thousand miles between here and home
They won't even know we're gone
I got mama's smile and my daddy's gun
You got your honest face and your liars tongue

Until Armageddon takes me
It's just you and me baby
Runnin' like the only sinners left
Loving like the only sinners left
Livin' like the only sinners left alive

Livin' on the outside

Livin' on the outside (hey hey hey)
Livin' on the outside (oh, yeah yeah, livin')
Livin' on the outside (yeah yeah yeah yeah, ooh)
Livin' on the outside (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh hey)

Well, if I gotta go, I'm going in style
You're gonna find me running down that Calvary mile
A beggar's son on the potter's tree

Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me

Come on!
Come on!

We got two-thousand miles between here and home
They won't even know we're gone
I got my mama's smile and my daddy's gun
Bring your honest face and your liars tongue

Until Armageddon takes me
It's just you and me baby
Runnin' like the only sinners left
Livin' like the only sinners left
Lovin' like the only sinners left alive

Livin' on the outside....
