Rawkus®Heavy - Hold on Tight

Once in a generation a song arrives that epitomizes the open road and the unshackled freedom of the motorcycle. Rawkus® release "Hold on Tight" a heavy, unapologetic, and dirty Rawk'n'Roll anthem that refuses to play nice. Featuring "guitar god Mark De Vattimo" from Psychonaut, this track is a pure-bred Aussie cubic inch classic, from the first Jax McCarthy beat  and the scream "Let's Go!" the thunderous metal riff and adrenaline-fueled Hipper / Ginn energy storms the ears Boz duels with MDV and embodies the freedom of two wheels, the wind in your hair, and the untamed spirit of the ride. 

This is Rawkus® at their grittiest...delivering a sound that’s loud, brutal, and built for the road. Whether you're tearing down the highway or dreaming of the next ride, "Hold on Tight" is the perfect soundtrack.

Verse 1

Climb on back, the throttle is down, your heels are shakin

Cubic Inch Screamer like a tongue to your groin

You like the wind

Heading down the highway 

105 were going in

 

Bridge

I am the power 

Don't you cry

Cause I'm the king 

Of the gasoline Sky y 

 

Hold on Tight

Hold on Tight

 

Verse 2

I wanna hold her

Squeeze her through the corner 

The best you ever seen

I wanna kiss her, lick the blue sugar

A little guzoline 

 

Bridge

I am the power 

Don't you cry

Cause I'm the king 

Of the gasoline Sky y 

 

Hold on tight 

Hold on Tight 

 

Let's Go!

 

Middle 

Got myself a mean machine 

The wildest ride you ever seen

Iron horse she'll do her thing now

You gonna ride it with me

 

Verse 3

Final corner you're holding me tight 

Your with the King 

Heading down the straight 

A machine to excite ya

Squeeze it baby, hold on to me tighter

 

Bridge

I am the power 

Don't you cry

Cause I'm the king 

Of the gasoline Sky y 

 

Hold on Tight 

Hold on Tight 

Hold on Tight 

Hold on Tight
