[Intro]
Crickets chirp
Rust gate swing
Moon on mud
Whole town sing (oh Lord)
[Verse 1]
Blood on the bumper
Bible on the dash
Praise in the AM
Night full of ash
Shotgun shells
In a feed store sack
Cross on the hill
But the cross look cracked
Grin in the mirror
Teeth all gold
Halo crooked
Heart so cold
Granddad said
“Son, don’t slip”
But the well runs red
When the bucket drip
[Chorus]
Backwoods sins
We don’t confess
Tracks in the clay
Boots in the mess
Laugh in the dark
Smoke on our breath
Backwoods sins
We dance with death
Backwoods sins
Hands in the jar
Prayin’ to a thing
Ain’t from this star
If the law roll up
We just play deaf
Backwoods sins
We dance with death (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Girl in the barn
Knife on her thigh
Cherry lip gloss
Smoke in her eye
She say, “Ride with me
If you ride, don’t squeal”
Engine talk mean
Steer like steel
Gravel kick up
Like a hornet swarm
She kiss one time
Then the sky deform
Radio laugh
In a twisted tongue
Every mile we take
Another star goes numb
[Bridge]
[Beat stutters, glitches hard, SFX like warped cartoon voices]
Crow call twice
Dogs don’t bark
Every mailbox
Got the same black mark
Corn don’t rustle
Wind don’t blow
Something in the creek
Hummin’ down low (shh)
[Chorus]
Backwoods sins
We don’t confess
Tracks in the clay
Boots in the mess
Laugh in the dark
Smoke on our breath
Backwoods sins
We dance with death
Backwoods sins
Hands in the jar
Prayin’ to a thing
Ain’t from this star
If the law roll up
We just play deaf
Backwoods sins
We dance with death (oh yeah)
