“Demons Ride With Me”

🎙️ [Intro – soft guitar, thunder] (spoken)

Ain’t nobody clean out here…

We just learn how to fight what haunts us.

⸻

🎶 [Verse 1]

Back roads, bad dreams, ghosts in my head

Every mile I drive feels like somethin’ I said

Regrets in the mirror, ridin’ next to me

No matter how far, they don’t set me free

I tried whiskey, tried runnin’ away

But the dark always finds me at the end of the day

I been fightin’ alone, losin’ that war

Till you walked in and opened that door

⸻

🎶 [Chorus]

We all got demons ridin’ in the night

Whisperin’ wrong when you’re tryin’ to do right

When the storm rolls in and I’m losin’ control

I don’t wanna fight it alone

So hold my hand when the sky falls down

When I’m barely standin’ on this broken ground

When I’m shakin’, when I come undone

Don’t you run from what I’ve become

Yeah, we all got demons, that’s the truth…

But I ain’t afraid if I’m standin’ with you

⸻

🎶 [Verse 2]

You saw the cracks that I tried to hide

Heard every truth buried in my pride

Most would leave when it gets this deep

But you stayed right here when I couldn’t sleep

Said you ain’t scared of the mess I’m in

You’ll fight beside me through thick and thin

And for the first time I could believe

Maybe these chains don’t own me

⸻

🎶 [Bridge] (soft, emotional)

If I fall in the middle of the night

Promise me you won’t give up the fight

When I’m lost and too far gone

Be the reason I hold on

⸻

🎶 [Final Chorus]

We all got demons callin’ our name

Pourin’ down like a cold hard rain

But you’re the fire when I’m feelin’ alone

The only place that feels like home

So hold my hand when the storm gets wild

When I’m half a man, just a broken child

When I’m fallin’ apart, piece by piece

You’re the only thing brings me peace

Yeah, we all got demons, that’s the truth…

But I’ll face ‘em all if I’m standin’ with you

⸻

🎙️ [Outro – fading guitar] (spoken)

Demons don’t always leave…

…but they get quieter…

when you don’t fight alone.
