[Verse]
Got a pickup running on a red dirt road
Radio blaring out a rebel code
Sky’s wide open but it ain’t just blue
A thousand shades of gray rollin’ right through
[Chorus]
Shades of gray in the morning light
The in-between holds the fight
Not just black or white in the day
Life comes alive in the shades of gray
[Verse 2]
The smoke from the fire meets the clouds so high
Steel guitar cries as a bird cuts the sky
The drinks ain’t bitter the sun’s halfway set
Every color’s a gamble you don’t wanna bet
[Chorus]
Shades of gray in the burning sun
Where the paths collide when the race is run
Not just black or white to see the way
All the answers live in the shades of gray
[Bridge]
Through the southern haze and the night’s perfume
There’s a rhythm rising gonna carve some room
Between the drum beats and the flashing lights
We're chasing colors in the black of night
[Chorus]
Shades of gray keep us on our toes
Truth’s somewhere lost where the wild wind blows
Not just black or white in the fray
Can’t find the light without shades of gray
