Johnny Davis never let us down Started up on the west side of town By the 60s the midwest was ours The bike's a body and John was the heart Meetings and the races and the women looked good Raising hell and living like nobody else would Johnny Davis never let us down Since he's gone the boys are different now Hang on, hang on, we're going for a ride Hang on, hang on, it's alright These streets are ours to take Faster than trouble Too fast to fade Johnny never backed down from a fight By the end we lived in changing times The new guys thought that they were movie stars After '69 it fell apart Edges of an empty parking lot it rained chrome Johnny in the middle stood his ground and fought alone Johnny could took em one on one But his young rival simply pulled a gun Hang on, hang on, we're going for a ride Hang on, hang on, it's alright These streets are ours to take Faster than trouble Too fast to fade You live the life you love, you love the life you live Maybe that's enough honey to get us out of this Build it up to speed, Give it all it needs In the end it knocks you down and throws you in the weeds If what you say is true, hell sometimes you gotta lose Hang on, hang on, we're going for a ride Hang on, hang on, it's alright These streets are ours to take Faster than trouble Too fast to fade
