Lyrics
Intro
Mm-hmm, yeah, ooh
Country blood, concrete beats (hey)
Ta-ta-touch the radio, let it breathe
Verse
Rollin' with a tailgate anthem, gravel on my boots
Sunset on the dash, mama's prayers in my roots (yeah)
Got a map full of detours and a head full of plans
Work gloves in my backseat, dreams in my hands (uh-huh)
Raised on two-step rhythms and a four-four beat
Guitar in the cab, bass down low, stomp the seat
Met the world at the county line, shook hands with the dawn
Sold a few small town nights to the songs I wrote on my lawn (yuh)
Pickup like a promise, chrome like a grin
We trade our slow Sundays for a road that won't end
Cold beer in the cooler, warm fire in the stare
She said, "Boy, chase that sunset, get out from that armchair"
I spit rhymes like fence posts, quick to stand my ground
Rap lines with a banjo twang, keep the hood proud of the plow
From diner coffee to neon-free marquees (alright) —
We make our own lights when the crowd wants to see
Skrrt — tires kiss the gravel, rev it up, don't wait
This town's our runway, engine's hungry, can't sedate (yeah)
Pre-chorus
Moon over the silo, we whisper plans in smoke
Hands on the wheel, no promise spoke (no promise spoke)
Barstool prophets say the dream's a joke
But we lace our boots and keep stoking hope (keep stoking hope)
Chorus
We ride, we ride, tailgate to the sunrise (oh-oh)
We ride, we ride, two worlds in one life (hey-ya)
We ride, we ride, sing it loud through the miles (na-na)
We ride, we ride, keep our fire in the fight (oh-oh)
We ride, we ride, tailgate to the sunrise (oh-oh)
We ride, we ride, two worlds in one life (hey-ya)
We ride, we ride, sing it loud through the miles (na-na)
We ride, we ride, keep our fire in the fight (oh-oh)
Verse
Check the ledger, check the lineage, hustles stack like hay
Weekday sweat, weekend stage, we hustle then we play
Granddad said, "Boy, you got a steady hand and stubborn eyes"
I turned those stubborn eyes into hooks that climb the sky (yuh)
Barbecue smoke and boom-bap, I stitch the beat with string
Harmonica on the bridge, let the chorus take wing
She braided my last name into the hometown song
We fought the small-town rumors, then we proved ’em wrong (uh)
City folks smile puzzled when they hear the twang on the track
But they tap their feet by the second beat and they never look back
I keep a pocketful of postcards from every road I've crossed
Each one says keep driving, even when it costs
Checkmate to the doubt, rook moves from the porch
We hustle in overalls, kings of our own torch
Radio static to stadium traffic, we flip the switch (flip it)
From mud-stained dreams to chrome and pitch (yeah)
Ain't no shame in the roots, ain't no shame in the grind
We mix the verses with the plow — soul, grit, and rhyme (uh-huh)
Bridge
Sing low, sing loud, let the nightwear down
We built this out of dust and late shift sounds
Hold tight, h
