Heartbreak Highway

Skirmish: No apologize no regrets (@acousticmaddie)Liner Notes
Lyrics
[verse 1] We met, in a Smokey scene Desire lit, like a line of gasoline Crashing cymbals, in a back alley show Black leather halo, I couldn’t say no [verse 2] Song ended, I wanted more Pulling you close, for an encore Call it chaos, call it sin Heartbreak highway, I’m all in [chorus] Heartbreak highway, I’m all in belts, and snakeskin Moving fast, wrapped in black No what if’s, no turning back No apologies, none to give Heartbreak highway, is how we live On Heartbreak Highway, is how we live…. [chorus] Heartbreak highway, I’m all in belts, and snakeskin Moving fast, wrapped in black No what if’s, no turning back No apologies, none to give Heartbreak highway, is how we live On Heartbreak Highway, is how we live…. [verse 3] I’m so afraid, of this ride Our world’s, are about to collide Are you just, a detour sign Or are the stars, all aligned [pre chorus] Loving you, will be a mess I’d do it again, no second guess We’re burning too bright, to play it smart Scars are better, than a guarded heart [chorus] Heartbreak highway, I’m all in belts, and snakeskin Moving fast, wrapped in black No what if’s, no turning back No apologies, none to give Heartbreak highway, is how we live On Heartbreak Highway, is how we live….

These are some wonderful lyrics. Chorus captures the vibe, and especially like the last line of the pre-chorus. Title drew me in too! This should get music! One fine skirmish
Nice title. Good form and rhyme, I can hear this in various styles. I like "pulling you close for an encore" and "are you just a detour sign." Good metaphor throughout. Great skirmish.
Thanks so much for reviewing the song!
Love this couplet, especially the second line! "We’re burning too bright, to play it smart Scars are better, than a guarded heart" Right on!! I loved this pedal to the metal lyric. It really captured the relationship. Really well done!
I am grateful for the feedback!
I can picture the drama here live. Very captivating lyrics. Thank you for playing.
