[Verse 1]
Headlights wash the lane
But the lane don't show
That slick dark skin
Lyin' low, low, low
Salt truck went by
An hour ago
Still that glassy sheen
Got me movin' slow
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands locked tight
On the wheel
I can feel it now
I can feel it
[Chorus]
Black ice, black ice
Under my tires
Black ice, black ice
One wrong mile
Black ice, black ice
Hold me tonight
(hold me tonight)
Black ice, black ice
Don't let me slide
[Verse 2]
Mail box bent clean
At the county bend
Boots in the ditch
Where the tracks all end
Your house light glows
At the top of the hill
I inch on up
But the road stays still
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands locked tight
On the wheel
I can feel it now
I can feel it
[Chorus]
Black ice, black ice
Under my tires
Black ice, black ice
One wrong mile
Black ice, black ice
Hold me tonight
(hold me tonight)
Black ice, black ice
Don't let me slide
[Bridge]
Slow down, slow down
Let the night breathe
No rush, no pride
Just let me leave
One white line
And a prayer in my chest
I make it home
If I don't test the edge
[Final Chorus]
Black ice, black ice
Under my tires
Black ice, black ice
One wrong mile
Black ice, black ice
Hold me tonight
(hold me tonight)
Black ice, black ice
Don't let me slide
