Johnny Davis - Lucero

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
