Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The porch swing stopped in a windless yard
Your coffee cup was cold
A horseshoe nailed above the barn
Had turned its face to gold
The dog kept staring at the tree line
Wouldn't cross the gate
You said, "Tell me I'm imagining it"
I said, "Honey, wait"
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a crow on the fence post
And a crack in the kitchen glass
Every little thing I trusted
Is telling me to pass
[Chorus]
Something ain't right, something ain't right
The well rope's humming in the middle of the night
You hold my hand but you're looking past me
Like you know a truth you won't let me see
Something ain't right, I can feel it in my bones
The house is full of footsteps, but we are here alone
If you're gonna leave me, don't make me guess tonight
Say it plain, baby—something ain't right
[Verse 2]
Your truck was parked beside the cottonwood
Keys still in the dash
But muddy tracks led from the riverbank
And none of them came back
The radio found a preacher
Through a storm of dust and rain
He said, "Don't follow what is calling you"
Then vanished from the frame
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a nail beside the doorway
With a red thread tied around
And the old clock skips a minute
Every time that bell sounds
[Chorus]
Something ain't right, something ain't right
The well rope's humming in the middle of the night
You hold my hand but you're looking past me
Like you know a truth you won't let me see
Something ain't right, I can feel it in my bones
The house is full of footsteps, but we are here alone
If you're gonna leave me, don't make me guess tonight
Say it plain, baby—something ain't right
[Bridge]
I walked out to the river
With your coat against the cold
Found my name carved in the limestone
In a hand too young, too old
You came up behind me whispering
"Don't turn around, just run"
But your voice came from the water
And your shadow faced the sun
[Guitar Duel]
[Instrumental]
[Final Chorus]
Something ain't right, something ain't right
The whole damn county heard that bell last night
You hold my hand and now I see it
There was never anybody standing beside me
Something ain't right, I can feel it in my bones
The house is full of footsteps, and they're leading me home
If you're gonna haunt me, don't hide out of sight
Come on, say it plain—something ain't right
[Outro]
The porch swing moves in a windless yard
And the coffee's warm tonight
I hear your boots along the hall
Something ain't right

Style
Dark country rock with a hard-driving 6/8 groove, raspy male lead vocal delivered conversationally in the verses and pushed into a weathered howl in the chorus. Two aggressive seven-string electric guitars duel in call-and-response: low tuned chugs and twangy sustained bends, with a short harmonized lead after each chorus. Add dry kick and snare, tom-heavy fills, roomy live drums, sparse upright-bass weight, and occasional pedal-steel answers. Start with a lone tremolo guitar and vocal pickup, build into wide doubled guitars, strip to bass and vocal for the bridge, then finish with an escalating guitar duel. Gritty analog saturation, tight low end, natural room ambience, no glossy pop polish.
