[Intro]
Painkiller, I’m back, feel the storm in my veins,
A small-town spirit, but I’m tied to these chains,
Life’s a broken record, spinning tracks in my mind,
Death’s the only promise, it’s the contract I signed.
[Verse 1]
Dusty roads, cracked boots, and a worn-out grin,
Every scar on my body tells the places I’ve been,
Old town echoes, where the whispers collide,
Born here, I’ll die here, in the dirt I confide.
[Chorus]
I’m gonna die an old town boy, can’t run from the soil,
Roots too deep, heart pumping that unfiltered toil,
Ashes to gravel, I’ll return to the ground,
Old town boy, where my soul’s forever bound.
[Verse 2]
Concrete jungles never felt like my home,
Give me rusty barns and the sky’s monochrome,
Crows on the wire sing my eulogy tune,
I’ll rest where the cornfields dance with the moon.
[Bridge]
The wind hums secrets, the trees hold my name,
Every crack in the pavement whispers my shame,
A life carved in woodgrain, weathered and tough,
Old town boy, but I’ve lived long enough.
[Verse 3]
Fences creak, time’s shadow starts to fade,
Counting stars, every memory I’ve made,
When my heart gives out, let the town bells chime,
Bury me here, in the rhythm of time.
