Mud in My Teeth

Boots on gravel

Headlights mean

Number on the door

Chasing that green

Gas on the floor, I'm sideways sliding

Mud on the visor, I still ain't blinking

Crowd on the fence all lean, all holler

Heart on the red, I'm bending the collar

Left turn, loose rear, fighting the wheel

Whole row shaking, you can taste that steel

I don't talk much, I just toss that dirt

If it ain't wide open, what’s the worth?

Mud in my teeth, fire in my chest (yeah)

Throw that car where the brave ones guess

We don't brake, we just pray and turn

Live by the slide, let the tires burn

Mud in my teeth, I was built for this

Fast lane faith in a broken fist

If I go out, let it be like that

Dirt in the air and a checkered flag

Night so loud, you can’t hear fear

Just one groove carved deep this year

Bumper to bumper, I kiss that guard

Chrome on clay, every lap hits hard

Daddy in the stands with a rag in his hand

Said "son, make dust, leave your name in the land"

So I dig in deep, let it all get wild

Every rough edge on this reckless child

Mud in my teeth, fire in my chest (hey!)

Throw that car where the brave ones guess

We don't brake, we just pray and turn

Live by the slide, let the tires burn

Mud in my teeth, I was built for this

Fast lane faith in a broken fist

If I go out, let it be like that

Dirt in the air and a checkered flag

Who's next up? (who?)

Line 'em in a row

If you ain't scared

You too slow

One more lap

One more life

Make that mess

Make it right

Mud in my teeth, fire in my chest

Throw that car where the brave ones guess

We don't brake, we just pray and turn

Live by the slide, let the tires burn

Mud in my teeth, I was born in clay

Cut that track like a razor blade

If I go out, let it be like that

Dirt in the air and a checkered flag
