Dead Man's Mile (DimS)

[Verse 1]
Sunrise bleedin' on a whiskey glass
Another damn town I just shot right past
Been countin' mile markers, losin' track of time
Got your faded picture burnin' up my mind
Yeah, the road's been a devil, whisperin' my name
But every damn city just felt the same
A concrete jungle, cold and grey
Without you, babe, I just couldn't stay.

[Pre-Chorus]
The engine's screamin' like a soul in pain
Drownin' out the sound of the pourin' rain
Got one last chance, one last fight to make it through...
'Cause every damn road I take, it leads to you!

[Chorus - Explodes with power, full band kicks in with driving rhythm and Axl-style high-pitched, raw vocals]
TONIGHT! WE CRASH LIKE THUNDER, BURN LIKE GASOLINE!
BREAKIN' DOWN THE WALLS THAT STOOD BETWEEN!
I'VE WALKED A DEAD MAN'S MILE, A THOUSAND TIMES ALONE!
BUT TONIGHT, MY SWEET DAMNATION, I'M FINALLY COMIN' HOME!
YEAH! COMIN' HOME!

[Guitar Riff]
(A short, catchy, and aggressive guitar riff separates the chorus and the next verse.)

[Verse 2]
They said this kinda lovin' was a foolish game
A wildfire promise screamin' out your name
Lived on stale coffee and cheap cigarettes
Placin' all my money on some wild-eyed bets
I fought with shadows in a motel room
Chasin' away the loneliness and gloom
But the ghost in the mirror, it had your eyes
Underneath these poisoned, blood-red skies.

[Pre-Chorus]
This diesel heart is poundin' in my chest
Gonna put this twisted memory to the test
One last corner, babe, I'm breakin' through!
'Cause nothin' else matters, nothin' but you!

[Chorus - Even more powerful and desperate this time]
TONIGHT! WE CRASH LIKE THUNDER, BURN LIKE GASOLINE!
THE CRAZIEST DAMN THING THIS WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!
I'VE WALKED A DEAD MAN'S MILE, A THOUSAND TIMES ALONE!
BUT TONIGHT, MY SWEET DAMNATION, I'M FINALLY COMIN' HOME!
OH, I'M COMIN' HOME!
