Prompt / Lyrics
Dock” (Intro – spoken, low) Yeah… Tin boat dreams, river mud on my boots Old steel heart still pullin’ truth Let it ride… (Hook) Jon boat rattlin’, moon low in the sky Old box Chevy Silverado, chains hummin’ when I drive Delta water black, got secrets down below Dock it up at 8 Mile Road, let the night move slow Jon boat livin’, yeah I earned every scar Rust on the trailer, but it still go far From the mud to the smoke, yeah I already know 8 Mile dock, that’s a river boy code (Verse 1) Gravel in my teeth, got a dip in my jaw Hands smell like gas and a little outlaw Bench seat cracked, radio don’t play But the motor hums truth in a backroad way Box Chevy square body, ‘92 maybe ‘94 Tailgate bent but it still want more Hitch ball squeak when the load pull tight That Jon boat draggin’ me into the night Headlights cut through cane and fog Gators watch silent like the devil on pause No city lights, just stars and debt River taught lessons I ain’t paid off yet (Hook) Jon boat rattlin’, moon low in the sky Old box Chevy Silverado, chains hummin’ when I drive Delta water black, got secrets down below Dock it up at 8 Mile Road, let the night move slow Jon boat livin’, yeah I earned every scar Rust on the trailer, but it still go far From the mud to the smoke, yeah I already know 8 Mile dock, that’s a river boy code (Verse 2) Launch it quiet, don’t wake the dead Water slap steel like words unsaid Rod in my hand, demons in the drink Every cast feel heavy make a man think Fish don’t lie, they just fight or run Same way I been livin’ since I was young Delta taught patience, mud taught pain Only thing clean out here’s the rain Chevy idle low like it know my name Been through breakups, storms, and flame If that truck could talk it’d say “stay mean” Stay movin’ forward, stay half unseen (Bridge – half-spoken) Ain’t nothin’ pretty ‘bout survival But it shine under moonlight Steel boat… old truck… That’s freedom if you livin’ right (Hook – stripped, darker) Jon boat rattlin’, heartbeat slow Silverado waitin’ where the cold wind blow Delta don’t care what you been through 8 Mile Road still seein’ you Jon boat livin’, yeah it carry my soul Dock lights flicker, let the dark take hold If I disappear, yeah you’ll already know Follow the mud… down to 8 Mile Road (Outro) Kill the motor… Let the water talk. Yeah.
