Lyrics
**Intro:**
(Heavy guitar riff with drums, 8 bars)
**Verse 1:**
In Canada's cold nights, where the frost bites to the bone
The wind howls like a demon, cuts right through you to the soul
But I keep this fire burning, deep inside my chest
Won't let this winter take me, I ain't ready for my rest
**Verse 2:**
From Rio's burning beaches, to London's foggy streets
I've seen the world keep turning, felt the rhythm in my feet
Every town's got a story, every road's got a song
And I'll keep on riding, rocking all night long
**Chorus:**
Cold northern nights won't break me down
I've got this rock and roll to keep me warm
From the mudder to the mountains, I'll stand my ground
Born to ride this blues rock storm
**Verse 3:**
All across Africa rising, hear the people sing their song
From Johannesburg to Cairo, the spirit's burning strong
We're all just souls in motion, searching for the light
Together we keep rolling, through these cold northern nights
**Solo:**
(Electric guitar solo with wah-wah pedal, 16 bars)
**Bridge:**
Temperature's dropping but my heart's on fire
This guitar's screaming taking me higher and higher
Won't stop till the morning sun breaks through
This rock and roll's gonna see me through
**Chorus:**
Cold northern nights won't break me down
I've got this rock and roll to keep me warm
From the mudder to the mountains, I'll stand my ground
Born to ride this blues rock storm
**Outro:**
(Guitar and drums build to final power chord, sustained, 8 bars)
