Lyrics
SHINY © 2014 Chris MacLean (SOCAN)
Ten miles of gravel, this road that I travel
All those potholes and dust
Make an old body rattle, when you open the throttle
Gears grind, popping the clutch
CHORUS
Pockmarks starting to rust, my shocks are gone
The ride’s getting rough,
I feel you near, every time I veer
Off of the road I know, into the sweet unknown
Beyond these borderlines.
I don’t regret your departure and yet
I’m missing you tonight
Still I’ll hold on to you, in the rear view
Like a beacon, SHINY
CHORUS
Well I’m out here tonight, just my bones and the sky and the stars, SHINY
Got the radio on, the windows rolled down, they’re playing a song about flying
Will you ride next to me until I’m ready? Will you ride next to me? Will you ride next to me until I’m ready to go
Off of the road I know, into the sweet unknown
Beyond these borderlines
Off of the road I know, into the sweet unknown
Beyond these borderlines……
SHINY…. Will you ride next to me until I’m ready?
