Firecracker Heartbeat (versión 2)

Intro

Rust belt heartbeat, iron in the bone

Verse 1 – male vocal

Steel mill whistle at half past four

Engine block sweat on the garage floor

Sixteen and a quarter tank of pride

Granddad's old jacket stitched inside

Pre-Chorus – layered

Tell me when did we stop running wild?

When do I get to break this mold?

Can't keep holding water in my chest

Chorus

So let it rip, let the whole town know!

Firecracker heartbeat, that's all I'm made of.

Burning every clock and burning every weight.

I was built for this, this is my ignition day

Verse 2 – male vocal

Ninety miles an hour on a county road

Radio shaking, we don't need it loud.

Momma's apron on the backseat floor

Every mile is one more door

Pre-Chorus – layered

Tell me when did we stop running wild?

When do I get to break this mold?

Can't keep holding water in my chest

Chorus

So let it rip, let the whole town know!

Firecracker heartbeat, that's all I'm made of.

Burning every clock and burning every weight.

I was built for this, this is my ignition day

Bridge – half-sung, sparse piano

Maybe I don't need a reason anymore

Maybe the road just chose me at birth.

Something deep inside this old V-8 chest

Just let it out before it's too late to breathe

Chorus

So let it rip, let the whole town know!

Firecracker heartbeat, that's all I'm made of.

Burning every clock and burning every weight.

I was built for this, this is my ignition day
