[Verse 1]
You pulled up in my ribs like a stolen ride
Boot prints on the dash of my fragile pride
Left your jacket on the backseat of my chest
Now every mile I think of what you wrecked
[Pre-Chorus]
You hit the gas, then you killed the lights
Left me swerving through the quiet nights
Gravel in my teeth from the words you said
Still hear your laugh in the back of my head
[Chorus]
You’re ghost riding my heart, hands off the wheel
Burning down the backroads of everything I feel
You’re gone, but you still leave these tire mark scars
Skidding through my veins, yeah, ghost riding my heart
[Verse 2]
Snapback shadow in the side-view glass
I see you every time that I hit the gas
Half prayer, half curse on my cracked-up lips
Country boy soul with a city-boy twist
[Pre-Chorus]
You slam the door, but it swings all night
Every memory a pair of high beams bright
Radio stuck on that song you loved
Every damn chord just calls your bluff
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You spin my world in circles
Like a truck on muddy ground
Every time I think I’m steady
You come back around, back around
[crescendo]
I’m yelling at the sky like it’s all your fault
But I’m the one that left my chest unlocked
Now you ride through, leave dust and sparks
Doing donuts in the dark of my heart (yeah)
[Chorus]
