Lyrics
They look at my leather
And they look at my ink
They think I don't belong here
Until the lights go out
My knuckles are scarred from 30 years of chrome
The open highway is my only home I wear my club colors
underneath my coat A lone wolf standing on a sinking boat
Upstairs in the trauma base
Sirens stopped away A young rider whopped out on my highway rail
Broken bones and gravel in the surgical light
And the anesthesia vaporizer jammed in the night
They call down to the shadows for the only man
Who knows how to rebuild it with an outlaw head I don't need no diploma
hanging on the stone
When blood is on the asphalt
You protect your own
Chrome, leather, and lead
We hold the line at the edge of the dead
The outlaw biomed standing his ground
Where salvation is still
Together are found We ride in the shadows, we live by the code
Saving broken brothers from the end of the road
Yeah, hear the kids all cry
No brother on my watch
He's gonna die
I purged the frozen bow with a steady grip
Receded the diaphragm without a single slip
The anesthetic vapor flowed pure and slow
Giving that young rider a second chance to go I watched his heart
monitor steady on the screen
Walked out to my chopper in the morning serene
Kicked over the engine with a low, deep growl
Another fallen soul saved from the reaper's prowl
Chrome, leather, and lead
We hold the line at the edge of the dead
The outlaw biomed standing his ground
Where salvation and steel together are found
We ride in the shadows, we live by the code
Saving broken brothers from the end of the road
Yeah, here's our ghettos cry
No brother on my watch
Is gonna die
Ride free, brother
The road is waiting
