Mad Dogs
Jewel Strydom
dance
Crunchy modern rock with a touch of blues swagger; mid-tempo groove built on overdriven guitars and thick bass
live kit with roomy snares. Verses stay tight and tense
opening into a shout-along
gang-vocal chorus. Short fuzzed-out lead lines answer vocal phrases; male vocals with a rough
road-worn edge.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Steel toes on the pavement
Patches stitched and frayed
Old scars under leather
Sun bleeding out of the day
[Pre-Chorus]
Engines humming low like trouble
Boots tapping time on the ground
Every head turns at the rumble
When we roll through your town (yeah)
[Chorus]
We are the Mad Dogs
Running till the road runs out
Burning up the blacktop
Howling when the lights go down
Mad Dogs
Ride it till the sky turns red
If you see that skull and chain
You know we don’t forget
[Verse 2]
Cold beer in the backroom
Names carved into the bar
Stories grow a little sharper
Every time they meet the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Tattoo ink and chipped chrome shining
Laughing in the smoke and sound
You can taste the risk in the silence
Right before we throw it down (hey!)
[Chorus]
We are the Mad Dogs
Running till the road runs out
Burning up the blacktop
Howling when the lights go down
Mad Dogs
Ride it till the sky turns red
If you see that skull and chain
You know we don’t forget
[Bridge]
Some call us lost
We call it living
Found our faith
In busted pistons
If you’re broken
If you’re drifting
We got one more seat to give you (come on)
[Chorus]
We are the Mad Dogs
Running till the road runs out
Burning up the blacktop
Howling when the lights go down
Mad Dogs
Ride it till the sky turns red
If you ride beneath our name
You’re one of us ‘til death
Steel toes on the pavement
Patches stitched and frayed
Old scars under leather
Sun bleeding out of the day
[Pre-Chorus]
Engines humming low like trouble
Boots tapping time on the ground
Every head turns at the rumble
When we roll through your town (yeah)
[Chorus]
We are the Mad Dogs
Running till the road runs out
Burning up the blacktop
Howling when the lights go down
Mad Dogs
Ride it till the sky turns red
If you see that skull and chain
You know we don’t forget
[Verse 2]
Cold beer in the backroom
Names carved into the bar
Stories grow a little sharper
Every time they meet the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Tattoo ink and chipped chrome shining
Laughing in the smoke and sound
You can taste the risk in the silence
Right before we throw it down (hey!)
[Chorus]
We are the Mad Dogs
Running till the road runs out
Burning up the blacktop
Howling when the lights go down
Mad Dogs
Ride it till the sky turns red
If you see that skull and chain
You know we don’t forget
[Bridge]
Some call us lost
We call it living
Found our faith
In busted pistons
If you’re broken
If you’re drifting
We got one more seat to give you (come on)
[Chorus]
We are the Mad Dogs
Running till the road runs out
Burning up the blacktop
Howling when the lights go down
Mad Dogs
Ride it till the sky turns red
If you ride beneath our name
You’re one of us ‘til death
