[Verse 1]
Johnny Davis never let us down
Started up on the west side of town
By the 60s the midwest was ours
The bike's the 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
But since he's gone the boys are different now

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Johnny never backed down from a fight
By the end we lived in changing times
The new guys thought that they were movie stars
And 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've took em one on one
But his young rival simply pulled a gun
[Chorus]
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
Yeah, too fast to fade (Yeah!)

[Bridge]
You live the life you love, and 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, oh, hell, sometimes you gotta lose

[Chorus]
Hang on, hang on, we're going for a ride
Hang on, hang on, it's alright
These streets, they're ours to take
Faster than trouble
Yeah, too fast to fade, alright!
(Keep going!)
