Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – eerie, ambient, slow] (Engine idling, cicadas, distant train horn, faint preacher sample) You can’t outrun what’s in you… (whispered ad-libs: ride… don’t stop…) [Verse 1 – deep raspy male, laid-back, slightly behind beat] Seat leaned back, hat low, state tag crooked Cooler in the trunk, ice clink every time I push it Lil city in the rearview, peelin' off slow from the sto' Cicadas in the ditch hum, same pitch as the flow Pecan shells by my feet from my uncle on the farm road Mud on my heel, red clay in my barcode Got a Bible on the dash and a pistol in the console Heart heavy, hands steady, eyes on the zip code [Chorus – slightly melodic, haunting, stretched words] Riiidin’ in my box Chevy down in Memphis (slight echo: Memphis…) Same old streets, but they feel different Chrome keep shinin’ while my past keep spinnin’ I ain’t where I’m goin’, but I ain’t where I been yet Ridin’ in my box Chevy down in Memphis Seat got tears but my soul still in it Slow roll, pray the Lord stay in my business If I make it home tonight… then I swear I’m winnin’ (low layer: or am I…) [Verse 2 – same tone, subtle urgency] Old school preacher on a sample talkin’ ‘bout sin While my cousin on the corner tryna get it how he live Got a straw hat hangin’ from the mirror, smell like hay I was raised between the gravel road and one-way Gas light on, but the faith on full Waffle spot open all night, postin’ up, cool Baby text say she tired of the same small talk "Boy, pull up or you lyin’" hit the turn, don’t stop [Bridge – minimal, almost spoken, soft] Country boy heart, city boy habits Gravel in my voice, but the pain still satin Corners of the map all stitched in my jacket If I say I love you, then you know I gotta back it [Final Chorus – wide, emotional, haunting] Ridin’ in my box Chevy down in Memphis Same old streets… but they feel like a sentence Chrome still shinin’, but the past don’t end it I been runnin’ so long, I forget what rest is Ridin’ in my box Chevy down in Memphis Seat still torn but my soul still in it Slow roll… shadows all in my vision If I make it home tonight… I might finally feel forgiven… (echo: forgiven… given…) [Outro – ambient, beat drops out, fading] (Engine idling, wind, cicadas, faint whisper: ride…) Engine still runnin’, I just let it idle… Same road… just darker now…
