[Verse]
Boots scuff dirt roads, echoes in the night
Dust spins, rust clings, gripping life tight
Harmonica screaming, it cuts through the fog
Sax howls like coyotes, shadowing the slog
Chasing dreams in the cracks of the pavement
Broke down rides, but the heart stays fragrant
Thirty hertz rumble, it rattles my spine
Every bar carved from the edges of time
[Chorus]
Dust and rust, but the wheels keep turning
Ashes in the wind, but the fire keeps burning
Where the sky meets the fields, and the pain feels just
It’s the rhythm of survival, in the dust and rust
[Verse 2]
Cornfields whisper, secrets in the breeze
Chains on the gate, but I hold the keys
My blood’s the river, my soul’s the plain
Every drop of sweat's been a drop of rain
The bassline’s heavy, like the weight of regret
Sax wails wild, can’t escape it yet
Harmonica bites like the teeth of the past
Fast beats remind me that nothing will last
[Bridge]
Harmonica wailing, like a wolf to the moon
Sax weaves through the dark, haunting the tune
Bassline’s a heartbeat, syncs with the soul
This beat’s a prayer for the lost and the whole
