Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Headlights cut through the 4AM haze,
Coffee gone cold on the dash again.
Calendar’s bleeding through another page,
But I got a promise I ain’t breakin’.

[Pre-Chorus]
These miles don’t ask if I’m alright,
They just keep on comin’ like a second fight.

[Chorus]
Everyone’s asleep, but I can’t let up now,
Got a fire in my gut and sweat on my brow.
Gave my word, I’m gonna see this through,
Even if the cost comes knockin’ too.
Can’t stop, won’t stop, soul full of metal,
Heart’s on the line — pedal to the metal.

[Verse 2]
Lunch was a protein bar three days old,
Still wearin’ the same boots from a week ago.
Wife said I’m fading, said I’m barely here —
But I’m building a future, can’t afford fear.

[Pre-Chorus]
These hours ain’t kind, they’ll steal your name,
But I traded comfort for a cause and flame.

[Chorus]
Everyone’s asleep, but I can’t let up now,
Got a fire in my gut and sweat on my brow.
Gave my word, I’m gonna see this through,
Even if the cost comes knockin’ too.
Can’t stop, won’t stop, soul full of metal,
Heart’s on the line — pedal to the metal.

[Bridge]
Call it pride, call it blind,
But this engine’s tied to my spine.
If I stop now, what’s left of me?
Just a man with hands, no legacy.

[Final Chorus – lifted intensity]
Everyone’s asleep, but I can’t let up now,
Got a flame in my chest and grit in my vow.
Gave my soul, I’m gonna see this through,
Even if the silence comes howlin’ too.
Can’t stop, won’t stop, red-line rebel,
Still holdin’ on — pedal to the metal.
