[Verse]
He'd sit by the gum tree
Tea in his hand
Talkin' ‘bout clouds and the lay of the land
But when the shed door creaked
And the fuel can called
Serenity vanished
Engines enthralled

[Chorus]
Full throttle serenity
Hear it roar
The peace he loved
Traded for more
More smoke
More fire
More dirt in the breeze
That two-stroke hum
His heart’s reprieve

[Verse 2]
The smell of petrol
It clung to his shirt
Grease on his fingers
Boots caked in dirt
He’d say
“Quiet’s nice
But listen here
Son
Life's a whole lot louder when the engine runs.”

[Chorus]
Full throttle serenity
Hear it roar
The peace he loved
Traded for more
More smoke
More fire
More dirt in the breeze
That two-stroke hum
His heart’s reprieve

[Bridge]
On quiet nights
I can hear him still
Riding the ridges
The engine’s shrill
And though I miss his quiet
Miss his laugh
I smile when I hear that throaty blast

[Chorus]
Full throttle serenity
Hear it roar
The peace he loved
Traded for more
More smoke
More fire
More dirt in the breeze
That two-stroke hum
His heart’s reprieve
