[Verse 1]
Dust in the rearview, road bends and twists,
Boots on the pedal, I don’t miss.
Sky bruised purple, moon’s a chipped dime,
Every mile swallowed, I’m out of time.
Gravel spit back, heart in a fight,
Pray the engine holds, back it up tonight.
[Pre-Chorus]
Whiskey bottle rolling 'cross the seat,
Ghosts of the past tapping their feet.
[Chorus]
Back it up tonight, hear the tires cry,
Feel the wind scream, let the sparks fly.
Back it up tonight, till the stars ignite,
Can’t run forward, so I back it up tonight.
[Verse 2]
Barn lights flicker, a Morse code sin,
Voices in the breeze, calling me in.
Guitar strings snap, tension too tight,
Memories hit harder than a barroom fight.
Cigarette burn marks, dashboard scars,
Dreams drive further than these rusted cars.
[Chorus]
Back it up tonight, hear the tires cry,
Feel the wind scream, let the sparks fly.
Back it up tonight, till the stars ignite,
Can’t run forward, so I back it up tonight.
[Bridge]
Moonlight on my knuckles, fistful of dirt,
Every turn’s a gamble, every road hurts.
Echoes of the past, sharp as a knife,
If I can't move on, I'll rewind this life.
