  • Drive it on up and let's cruise a while
    Leave your troubles far behind
    You can hedge your bet on a clean Corvette
    To get you there right on time

    Now if you're ready to dive into overdrive
    Baby, the green lights are on
    It's like you're runnin' away on some high octane
    Every time she reaches fully blown

    Won't you take a ride (ride, ride, ride)
    On heavy metal
    It's the only way that you can travel
    Down that road

    Satisfied (-fied, -fied, -fied)
    On heavy metal
    Baby, won't you ride
    Ride it until it explodes
    (Heavy metal)

    My oh my, how this lady can fly
    Once she starts rollin' beneath you
    You know you just can't lose, the way she moves
    You wait for her to finally release you

    It's not a big surprise to feel your temperature rise
    You've got a touch of redline fever
    'Cause there is just one cure that they know for sure
    You just become a heavy metal believer

    Won't you take a ride (ride, ride, ride)
    On heavy metal
    It's the only way that you can travel
    Down that road

    Satisfied (-fied, -fied, -fied)
    On heavy metal
    Baby, won't you ride
    Ride it until it explodes
    (Heavy metal)
