Hit the dirt

Got a truck for free off a backlot deal
Old Dodge D-50, held together with will
Dude said “She runs,” I said “Good enough”
Fired it up, man it coughed and cussed

Chris slid in with a grin like sin
Said “Let’s see what this junker’s in”
Half mile deep and I felt that shake
I said “Somethin’ ain’t right with these damn brakes…”

⸻

[Pre-Chorus] (drop instruments, just kick + bass)
He laughed real loud, said “You worry too much”
I said “Wait ‘til the dirt… then you’ll feel that rush…”

⸻

[Chorus – Heavy / Chant Hook] (full band slam in)
We hit the dirt — yeah I slammed it down
Truck snapped sideways, spun us around
Right tire blew, left the ground
Next thing we knew we’re upside down

Radio screamin’ “another one bites”
Like it knew ‘bout that wreck that night
I looked at Chris, didn’t make a sound
Just two hard heads hangin’ upside down

⸻

[Verse 2]
Seatbelt diggin’, glass in my hair
I said “You good?” he said “Yeah, you there?”
Smelled that gas and it hit real fast
Said “Let’s move, man, this could go bad”

Crawled out slow, boots hit dirt
Both start laughin’ through the hurt
No phones, no help, just a long way out
Just two idiots walkin’ it out

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
Turned back once, saw headlights glow
I said “Aw hell… man you already know…”

⸻

[Chorus]
We hit the dirt — yeah I slammed it down
Truck snapped sideways, spun us around
Right tire blew, left the ground
Next thing we knew we’re upside down

Radio screamin’ “another one bites”
Like it knew ‘bout that wreck that night
I looked at Chris, didn’t make a sound
Just two hard heads hangin’ upside down

⸻

[Verse 3] (more attitude, slightly talk-sung)
Two days later, fate came ‘round
Same old car in a one-stop town
Gas can sittin’ right where she parked
I said “Chris… that’s her. Let’s take a walk.”

Didn’t yell, didn’t cause a scene
Just handled it quiet, know what I mean
Left her thinkin’ ‘bout wrong and right
Some lessons hit harder late at night

⸻

[Bridge – Breakdown → Build] (claps + gang vocals)
We don’t start it, but we don’t back down
Small town blood, yeah we hold that ground
You take what’s mine, better run real fast
‘Cause we always roll back around

(kick builds… guitars rise…)

⸻

[Final Chorus – Biggest Hit]
We hit the dirt — yeah I slammed it down
Whole damn world went upside down
Right tire blew, left the ground
Next thing we knew we’re upside down

Radio screamin’ “another one bites”
Still hear that song on a Friday night
If I had the chance, yeah I’d do it again
Best bad wreck I’ve ever been in

Yeah we hit the dirt —
And we came back swingin’ again
