Stallions of the Highway Lyrics
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
Of the highway
I get into my leathers
And I get out on my bike
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
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 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
I get into my leathers
And I get out on my bike
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
Of the highway

Simply put this track is an anthem celebrating freedom, rebellion, and the thrill of riding motorcycles with the lyrics conveying a sense of exhilaration and defiance one feels when one embraces a rebellious lifestyle and cherishes the freedom that comes with riding motorcycles.
Culturally and historically, it reflects the biker subculture of the 1970s and 1980s when motorcycle culture was experiencing a resurgence, particularly with the rise of "outlaw" biker clubs. The song taps into the rebellious spirit often associated with motorcycles and the counter-cultural movement of that era.

One of the best NWOBHM songs during the late 70's & early 80's.
