[Intro]
Boot tracks
Mud on my name
Breath clicks sharp
Like a rattlesnake chain
[Verse 1]
Got a ghost in the cab of my pickup
Riding shotgun, chewing on shame
Every mile mark sounds like handcuffs
Every fence post calling my name
Spit dust from the side of my jawbone
Dry tongue drumming like rain
Heart thump double-time, jawline bassline
Blood rush running that train
[Chorus]
I ride that graveyard train
Dark road, dark road, say my name (say my name)
Teeth tap, tongue slap, black refrain
I ride that graveyard train
Neon cross in the rearview shakes
Slow drawl tangled with the pain
Lip pop, throat drop, crooked prayer again
I ride that graveyard train
[Verse 2]
Barbed wire thoughts in a hayfield halo
Boot heel scuff in the clay
Shadow in the ditch doing backspin halos
Same lost song every day
Words come sharp like a matchhead
Flick, spit, spark in the rain
Mouth kick, snare click, low hum humming
Whole past scratching my name
[Chorus]
I ride that graveyard train
Dark road, dark road, say my name (say my name)
Teeth tap, tongue slap, black refrain
I ride that graveyard train
Neon cross in the rearview shakes
Slow drawl tangled with the pain
Lip pop, throat drop, crooked prayer again
I ride that graveyard train
[Bridge]
[Beatbox builds, tempo rising]
Tongue-tied outlaw, jawline drumroll (hey)
Breath like thunder in a chokehold
Hands off, heart on, eyes cold
Still I ride, yeah I ride, yeah I ride
[Chorus]
I ride that graveyard train
Dark road, dark road, say my name (say my name)
Teeth tap, tongue slap, black refrain
I ride that graveyard train
Neon cross in the rearview shakes
Slow drawl tangled with the pain
Last stop, dead stop, nothing left to claim
I ride that graveyard train
