    drift 
    on 
    Verse 1

    a prairie 
    road 

    Hot 
    tires 
    sing 
    like a 
    string 
    being 
    bowed 

    Sud
    den 
    town 
    rears 
    up 
    then 
    explodes 

    Frag
    ments 
    resolve 
    into white 
    line 
    code 

    Whirl 
    on 
    silver 
    wheels 

    Verse 2

    Black 
    earth 
    energy 
    receptor 
    fields 

    Un
    dulate 
    under 
    a grey 
    cloud 
    shield 

    We 
    out
    run 
    a river 
    color 
    brick 
    red 
    mud 

    That 
    cleaves 
    apart 
    hills 
    soil 
    rich 
    as 
    blood 

    Whirl 
    on 
    silver 
    wheels 

    Verse 3

    Highway 
    squeeze 
    in construction 
    steam 

    Stop 
    caution 
    hard 
    hat 

    yellow 
    insect 
    machines 

    Sil
    ver 
    steel 
    towers 
    stalk 
    rolling 
    land 

    Toward 
    distant 
    stacks 
    that 

    shout 
    feed 
    on 
    demand 

    Whirl 
    on 
    silver 
    wheels 

    Verse 4

    Whirl 
    on silver 
    wheels 

    Interlude 1




    One 
    hun
    dred 
    miles 
    later 
    the sky 
    Verse 5

    has 
    changed 

    Urban 
    anticipation, 
    we get 
    four 
    lanes 

    Red 
    orange 
    furnace 
    sphere 

    notches 
    down 

    Throws 
    up silhouette 
    skyline 
    in 
    brown 

    Whirl 
    on 
    silver 
    wheels 

    Verse 6

    Sun 
    dogs 
    flare 
    on windshield 
    glass 

    Sudden 
    swoop 
    skyward 

    iron 
    horse 
    overpass 

    Pass 
    a man 
    walking 
    like the 

    man 
    in the moon 

    Walk
    ing 
    like his head's 
    full 

    of Irish 
    fiddle tunes 

    Whirl 
    on 
    silver 
    wheels 

    Verse 7

    The 
    skin 
    around 
    every 

    city 
    looks 
    the same 

    Miles 
    of flat 
    neon 
    spelling 

    well 
    known 
    names 

    Used 
    trucks 
    dirty 
    donuts 

    you you're 
    the one 

    Fat 
    wheeled 
    cars 
    squeal 
    into 
    the sun 

    Whirl 
    on 
    silver 
    wheels 

    Verse 8

    Radio 
    speakers 
    gargle 
    top forty 
    trash 

    Muzak soundtrack 
    to 
    slow 
    collapse 

    Plan
    et 
    engines 
    pulsate 

    in 
    sidereal 
    time 

    If you 
    listen 
    close 
    you can 
    hear 
    the whine 

    Whirl 
    on 
    silver 
    wheels 

    Verse 9

    Whirl 
    on 
    silver 
    wheels

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
