Smoke on the Farm Road

Verse 1

Sun crawls up on a rusted gate,

Barbed wire hummin’, it’s gettin’ late,

Hands smell like hay and gasoline,

This land’s seen things it shouldn’t have seen.

Horses stomp in the cold back pen,

They know trouble like an old friend,

I spit in the dirt, pull my hat down low,

Ain’t much left here I don’t already know.

Chorus

It’s dirt in my blood, smoke in my lungs,

Girls with lies on their silver tongues,

Horses run hard when the night goes bad,

Like every good thing I never had.

If the sirens cut through the black midnight,

I’ll be long gone from the sheriff’s light.

Verse 2

She rolled in slow in a stolen grin,

Tight blue jeans, trouble under her skin,

Said she don’t stay and she don’t pray,

Just burns it down then rides away.

We drank too fast by the barn out back,

Moonshine sins we can’t take back,

Her kiss tasted like sin and smoke,

Like every rule we ever broke.

Chorus

With dirt in my blood, smoke in my lungs,

Girls who laugh when the damage’s done,

Horses pound like a loaded gun,

Run like hell when the night comes young.

If the law comes knockin’ at first daylight,

I won’t be standin’ in the sheriff’s light.

Bridge

Sheriff knows my name too damn well,

Saw me walk both heaven and hell,

He says, “Son, this road don’t end,”

I just grin, light up again.

Chorus (bigger, meaner)

It’s dust on my soul, scars on my skin,

Farm-bred sins and a taste for sin,

Girls don’t stay, they just ignite,

Then disappear into tail-light red.

If fate comes callin’ for a fight tonight,

I’ll outrun death and the sheriff’s light.

Outro

Sun goes down on a broken farm,

Horses quiet, tension warm,

One last drag, then I’m gone from sight…

Just smoke, the road, and the sheriff’s light.
