[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, it’s that Southern smoke
Whole town know my name but don’t know the pain, uh
Robbie Taylor in the mirror with a crown made of flames
(Let’s ride)
[Verse 1]
I’m that mirror-checkin’, flexin’ fool, slick hair and a crooked smile
Promised her the whole damn world, but I was cheatin’ all the while
Pockets fat, but my soul’s thin, ego tall like a pine tree
Told my son, “Be a man,” while I ran from who I need to be
Small-town king with a Chevy clean,
Talk sweet but my mind mean
Wasn’t love, it was routine—
Left ‘em cryin’ while I chased dreams
Big talk, gold watch, lies in my leather seat
Robbie Taylor, heartbreaker, mouth full of devil’s teeth
[Chorus]
Robbie Taylor, born to shine,
But he took what’s his and left behind
Narcissist with a grin so wide,
He can’t see the mess he hide
Robbie Taylor, smooth with game,
Cheated love and dodged the blame
Wrote his story in flames and smoke—
Robbie Taylor, the joke he broke
[Verse 2]
Came up hard but I played it soft,
Gaslightin’ when I got caught
Lipstick stains on motel sheets,
Still said I loved you—what a crock
Sunday suit, but the devil’s son,
Never owned the damage done
Kids draw pictures of a ghost,
Daddy’s face they barely know
I was preachin’ like I’m righteous,
Feelin’ big, livin’ mindless
Told ‘em all to trust my fire—
But I burned bridges outta blindness
[Chorus]
Robbie Taylor, born to shine,
But he took what’s his and left behind
Narcissist with a grin so wide,
He can’t see the mess he hide
Robbie Taylor, smooth with game,
Cheated love and dodged the blame
Wrote his story in flames and smoke—
Robbie Taylor, the joke he broke
[Outro]
Now the mirror’s crackin’ back,
That ego can’t dodge the facts
You can dress it up in gold and fame—
But pain still spells out your name… Robbie Taylor.
