Prompt / Lyrics
We met over busted knuckles and socket sets Shop radio hummin’ through a half-lit bay I showed you how to read what an engine says You showed me how to laugh at a hard day Hours turned into life talk deep, Kids, fears, money, dreams Somewhere between oil stains and smoke breaks, You became more than a stranger to me, Now you’re wrenchin’ in a different town, Providin’ strong, holdin’ it down, And I’m proud as hell, but damn I miss Those nights we’d just talk it out, Like that wrong road back from Vegas Pitch black, no signal bars Thought we’d found a shortcut home Ended up lost among the stars sand so deep we had to backtrack, Laughin’ while we cursed our luck If life’s another dark backroad You know I’d still be there in the muck Miles might stretch between us now But they don’t mean a thing You’re still my brother in the dark You know I got your wing! You’re buildin’ a life with steady hands, Feedin’ mouths with what you learned, And every paycheck, every plan, There’s a little bit of shop dirt earned, I know some nights hit heavy, When the weight won’t let you breathe, And I ain’t there to grab a wrench, Or say “Talk it out with me” But I’d drive through hell in low gear Just to pull up in your drive, Some bonds ain’t built in blood They’re built over time Like that wrong road back from Vegas Headlights cuttin’ sand Didn’t know where we were goin’ Still knew right where we stand If you ever hit a dead end Or the road turns mean and rough Call me up, I’ll find my way I’m here when times are tough Miles might stretch between us now But they don’t change a thing You’re still my brother in the dark Just text me or give me a ring Bridge (Big, emotional build) We’ve seen engines seize and start again Seen good men lose their fight But I’d still bet my last damn dime On you every single time So when it feels like you’re alone On some backroad no one knows Remember we’ve been lost before And we always found our way home Final Chorus (Stronger) Yeah that wrong road back from Vegas Wasn’t wrong at all It taught us how to handle When the night feels tall So if you’re drivin’ through the dark Just know I’m ridin’ too Different highway, same damn sky Brother, I’ve got you
