[Intro Tag – bass hit, brief silence, deep raspy vocal, slight room reverb]
Rooster Season…
[Intro – ambient night pads, distant guitar]
Yeah… just me and these roads again
Ain’t quiet out here, it just sound like it
[Verse 1 – acoustic guitar, light 808, slow tempo]
Rollin’ slow through a town that don’t know my name
Windows down, let the night cool off this pain
Had a direction, swear I seen it clear
Now it’s just headlights cuttin’ through my fears
[Pre-Chorus – guitar builds, soft harmonica enters]
Thought I had it figured out, I was dead wrong
Mind runnin’ circles, won’t leave me alone
Feel like I’m talkin’, nobody hears
Just me and this road and these miles of years
[Chorus – full beat, slide guitar, deeper 808, raspy vocal lift]
Ain’t nobody hearin’, ain’t nobody listenin’
Just me and these thoughts I’m livin’ in
Weight on my chest, but I’m still movin’ on
Backroad talkin’, tryin’ to stay strong
[Verse 2 – stripped back drums, guitar focus, raw vocal]
Dashboard glow and a half tank left
Every wrong turn sittin’ on my breath
I ain’t where I thought I’d be by now
But I ain’t laid down, I ain’t backin’ down
[Pre-Chorus – harmonica returns, slight build]
Yeah it gets heavy, yeah it gets real
Some nights I don’t like how I feel
But I ain’t done, I ain’t through yet
Still got a fire I ain’t lost or spent
[Chorus – full instrumentation, swampy blues tone]
Ain’t nobody hearin’, ain’t nobody listenin’
Just me and these thoughts I’m livin’ in
Weight on my chest, but I’m still movin’ on
Backroad talkin’, tryin’ to stay strong
[Bridge – minimal piano, reverb-heavy vocal, space]
Maybe this road ain’t nowhere near straight
Maybe I’m learnin’ a little too late
But every mile I’m makin’ it through
Means I ain’t quit… and I still got a few
[Final Chorus – full band, slide guitar lead, emotional peak]
Ain’t nobody hearin’, ain’t nobody listenin’
Still I keep goin’, I ain’t givin’ in
Weight on my chest, but I’m holdin’ on
Backroad talkin’… still ridin’ on
[Outro – guitar fade, ambient wind, distant harmonica]
Yeah… still ridin’ on
