I get restless in the nighttime
I got full-tilt Indy dreams
When I get an itch to move
I strap into my streamlined machine
Jacked up rear suspension
Sounding baffles blown
Growling like an animal
That just can’t wait to be let go
You wanna let him go
Power pushing through the hood
White knuckles on the wheel
Yellow light adrenaline
Breathless and dying for the speed
Nobody catches me with
Fire under the wheels
Born to run and built for speed
Fire under the wheels
It’s what I want, what I need
Fire under the wheels
High voltage sound system
Windows sealed tight
Tape deck primed and loaded
Waiting to shatter the night
Pushing up the volume
Getting ready for the road
Fifteen speakers overhead
They’re bearing down to overload
There’s an overload
Heartbeat tripping hammers
Limit’s far behind
Breaking all the barriers
I’m out of sight and out of my mind
Nobody catches me with
Fire under the wheels
Born to run and built for speed
Fire under the wheels
It’s what I want; it’s what I need
Fire under the wheels
I’m evil like Kneival
Living in the passing lane
Racing my own headlights
And getting off on high octane
High octane
Hair trigger gearshift
I got as lead foot hammered down
Got the feel of flying
It’s like I’m never coming down
I’m never coming down
Black and white in hot pursuit
I’m looking for a straightaway
Laughing as I hit the flat
Red lights just fade away
Nobody catches me with
Fire under the wheels
Born to run and built for speed
Fire under the wheels
It’s what I want; it’s what I need
Fire under the wheels
