God’s Love, Dark Roads

[Verse 1]
Boots on the gravel
Heart in a chokehold tight
Shadows in my rearview
Talk louder than the light
Been runnin' from my own face
Like it’s some wanted sign
But I hear a quiet thunder
Saying, “Kid, you’re mine”
[Chorus]
You can conquer fear, out here
On these dark, dust roads
You are God’s love, my dear
More than you’ve been told
Don’t let yourself stop you
When the night draws near
You can conquer fear
You can conquer fear (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Bottle on the nightstand
Bible on the chair
One smells like my history
One smells like prayer
I been swearin’ I’m unworthy
Swearin’ I’m too late
But His right hand’s on my shoulder
Steadying my shake
[Chorus]
You can conquer fear, out here
On these dark, dust roads
You are God’s love, my dear
More than you’ve been told
Don’t let yourself stop you
When the doubt bites near
You can conquer fear
You can conquer fear
[Bridge]
Every scar, every secret
Ain’t stronger than His name
Every lie I believed in
Burns out in that flame
If He called me from the ashes
He can call you from yours too
His righteousness ain’t fragile
It’s bleeding through you (oh)
[Chorus]
You can conquer fear, out here
On these dark, dust roads
You are God’s love, my dear
More than you’ve been told
Don’t let yourself stop you
When your own voice sneers
You can conquer fear
You can conquer fear
[Outro]
Boots on the gravel
Head to the sky above
You can conquer fear
You are God’s love

country, Smoldering dark country ballad with male vocals, low-tuned acoustic guitars, a dusty baritone guitar line, and a slow, stalking beat. Verses stay intimate with close-mic vocal and subtle tremolo, chorus swells with layered harmonies, floor toms, and mournful fiddle. Final chorus lifts in intensity, then drops to a lone guitar and voice for the last line.
