[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots, whispers in the air,
Echoes of the highway, shadows don’t care.
Coyote grin, grin wide in the dusk,
Heartbeats thump louder than a flatbed's rust.
Chasing tail lights, dreams in reverse,
Spinning out the truth, blessing or curse.
[Chorus]
Back and forth, the pendulum swings,
Worn-out road, but it still sings.
Back and forth, caught in the tide,
One foot in the fire, one in the pride.
[Verse 2]
Torn flannel soul, patched with regret,
Whiskey in my veins, but I ain’t numb yet.
Riding the rails of a six-string prayer,
Broken chords still dance in the midnight air.
Truck stop halos, saints in disguise,
Their stories burn like smoke in my eyes.
[Prechorus]
The gravel spits secrets, the wind don’t lie,
The open road's an alibi.
[Chorus]
Back and forth, the pendulum swings,
Worn-out road, but it still sings.
Back and forth, caught in the tide,
One foot in the fire, one in the pride.
[Bridge]
The storm's in my chest, lightning for veins,
Chasing the thunder, outrunning the pain.
Maps don’t matter when the compass spins,
Lost and found’s where the story begins.
