  • Friday night, I feel all right
    I get into my leathers
    And I get out on my bike

    There's thunder in my ears
    It's blasting down
    Kickin' up brick
    I don't give a shit
    I got the wind in my hair
    You know I don't even care
    Stallions of the highway

    Switchblade's gleamin'
    Engine screamin'
    I'm laughin' at fate
    I'm living to hate
    My knees are showing red
    I'm ridin' with the dead
    Get out of my way
    I'm a stallion of the highway

    I got the wind in my hair
    I don't even care
    I broke out of my shell
    I'm on a daydream from hell
    Don't shed no tears
    I been here fifteen years

    Friday night, I feel all right
    I get into my leathers
    And I get out on my bike

    My knees are showing red
    I'm ridin' with the dead
    Get out of my way
    I got the wind in my hair
    I don't even care
    Stallions of the highway

  • Jeff from Austin, TxIn the early 90s, my buddy and I were looking at old vinyl LPs at a local music store and found this album. Since we were both Metallica fans, we had heard about Saxon from Metallica interviews and such. But we had never actually heard any Saxon material.

    Since Metallica had been fans of the band, and since it had the most gnarly cover art we had ever seen, I had to buy this record. I had an old turntable that still worked, and we went home took out the record and dropped the needle.
    WOW!!!! STALLIONS OF THE HIGHWAY!!!
    It's the first song on the album and man, does it ever kick a**!!
    I got more into Saxon in the months and years after that, and my favorite material is actually the next few albums after this one.
    But this album, and specifically "Stallions of the Highway", will always hold a special place for me.
