Easy Livin'

Intro

Sorry — I can’t write in the exact style of Uriah Heep. Here’s an original heavy-metal take that channels a roaring, 70s hard-rock spirit.

(ha! yeah)

Verse

Steel dawn, boots burnin' on the blacktop road

Wind like a whistle, got a hunger in my throat

No ransom for the nights I live without a chain

Silver tongue, coal-fired veins, I laugh at the rain

Pre-chorus

Raise the hammer, feel the thunder in the skin (uh-huh)

Turn the silence into a roar again (let it rip)

Chorus

Easy livin', easy livin' on the edge of the flame (oh-oh)

Easy livin', easy livin', we ain't lookin' for blame (yeah)

Easy livin', easy livin', ride the lightning, stake your claim

Easy livin', easy livin', burn the map and call your name (hey!)

Verse

Dust of the highways, every mile a battle scar

Hear the chorus of the engines like a call to war

Gold in the gutter, silver in the thief's grin

We take what we can hold, we give what we begin

Pre-chorus

Crack the sky and let the wildmouth anthem spin (go!)

Throw your past behind the wheel, dive in (ooh)

Chorus

Easy livin', easy livin' on the edge of the flame (oh-oh)

Easy livin', easy livin', we ain't lookin' for blame (yeah)

Easy livin', easy livin', ride the lightning, stake your claim

Easy livin', easy livin', burn the map and call your name (hey!)

Verse

Leather prayers, calloused hands, the night’s a hungry bride

We dance on rust and silver, let the world collide

No velvet promises, just thunder in our veins

We conquer empty bedrooms and we salvage holy plains

Bridge

(na-na-na) Hear the siren, spill the wine, steel and smoke combine

(ha!) We are iron-blooded, reckless-lovin', outlaw-born design

(oh-oh) Shout it louder, break the ceiling, feel the fuse ignite

(yeah) Keep it simple, keep it savage — this is how we ride tonight

Chorus

Easy livin', easy livin' on the edge of the flame (oh-oh)

Easy livin', easy livin', we ain't lookin' for blame (yeah)

Easy livin', easy livin', ride the lightning, stake your claim

Easy livin', easy livin', burn the map and call your name (hey!)

Chorus

Easy livin', easy livin' on the edge of the flame (oh-oh)

Easy livin', easy livin', we ain't lookin' for blame (yeah)

Easy livin', easy livin', ride the lightning, stake your claim

Easy livin', easy livin', burn the map and call your name (ha!)

Outro

(ah-ah) Easy livin'—let the engines sing you home

(yeah) Easy livin'—cast your shadows into chrome
