Ride It Out

[Verse 1]
Truck stop coffee
Two a.m. pavement hums
Map on the dash
Phone full of half-burned thumbs
You said you’re tired
Of almosts and exit signs
I swipe your text
Like I’m running red lights
[Chorus]
So we ride it out
Through the rain on the windshield
Windows down
Let the night do what it will
If the sky falls in
We’ll be laughing in the downpour now
Heart on the dash
Baby, we just ride it out
Yeah, we just ride it out (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
You got your feet
On the crack in my bench seat
Singing off-key
To a song we both half-mean
You say “I break
Everything that I care for”
I say “Look, girl
That’s what these scars are there for”
[Chorus]
So we ride it out
Through the rain on the windshield
Windows down
Let the night do what it will
If the sky falls in
We’ll be laughing in the downpour now
Heart on the dash
Baby, we just ride it out
Yeah, we just ride it out
[Bridge]
Maybe it crashes
Maybe it catches
Either way, we’re burning this road right now
Hand on the shifter
Your head on my shoulder
If it all goes under, we go down proud
[Chorus]
So we ride it out
Through the rain on the windshield
Windows down
Let the night do what it will
If the sky falls in
We’ll be laughing in the downpour now
Heart on the dash
Baby, we just ride it out
End of the world
And we just ride it out
