[Verse 1]
Boot prints in the blood-red dust
Truck door slam, moon kicks up rust
Cow skull swing on a barbed-wire gate
I’m the rumor that your pastor hates (yeah)
Spit black tar, spit back in the wind
Bible in the mud, I been baptized in sin
Crows on the line sing static and hiss
I kiss the grave, the grave kiss back like this (huh)
[Chorus]
Welcome to the graveyard rodeo
Where the dead line dance in a crooked row
Boots on bones, hear the floorboards groan
You ain’t scared yet, you just ain’t alone
Welcome to the graveyard rodeo
Where the moonlight stutter like a video froze
Ride that fear till the speakers blow
Graveyard, graveyard rodeo (hey!)
[Verse 2]
She step out the dark with a knife and a grin
Cherry-red boots, lil halo of sin
Lipstick smear like a slaughterhouse stripe
Cowgirl curse in a sugar-sweet mic (mmm)
She laugh like glass draggin over a plate
Name on a toe tag, scribbled too late
“Baby, if you leave, you leave in a box”
She hums to the worms while she twistin the locks (oh)
[Chorus]
Welcome to the graveyard rodeo
Where the dead line dance in a crooked row
Boots on bones, hear the floorboards groan
You ain’t scared yet, you just ain’t alone
Welcome to the graveyard rodeo
Where the moonlight stutter like a video froze
Ride that fear till the speakers blow
Graveyard, graveyard rodeo (woah)
[Bridge]
[glitching vocal chop, distant coyotes, record scratches rising]
Hands on the wheel, but the wheel don’t turn
Cross on the dash start to drip and burn
Radio whisper in a backwards drawl
“You already died, you just missed the call” (yeah)
[Chorus]
Welcome to the graveyard rodeo
Where the dead line dance in a crooked row
Boots on bones, hear the floorboards groan
You ain’t scared yet, you just ain’t alone
Welcome to the graveyard rodeo
Where the moonlight stutter like a video froze
Ride that fear till the speakers blow
Graveyard, graveyard rodeo
