Don't Look in the Trunk

V6

[INSTRUMENTAL — fast bongos and twang riff, brass punching in] [VERSE 1 — quick clipped melody, bass darting underneath] She buckled up She checked the street She said, "The coast" I said, "Not close" The black bag dropped The brown bag stopped She watched them both Then shut her eyes [VERSE 2 — vocal skipping over fast bongos] I asked again She checked her hair She said, "There's money Enough to share" The mirror flashed A gray sedan She said, "Go faster" I said, "I can" [CHORUS — punchy open hook, brass answering each phrase] Don't look in the trunk Don't look in the trunk Just keep your eyes On the road in front [VERSE 3 — brighter, guitar riff chasing the vocal] The first gate rose The second fell I took the exit She knew too well Her phone lit up She snapped it shut I said, "Old habits?" She said, "So what?" [CHORUS — punchy open hook, brass answering each phrase] Don't look in the trunk Don't look in the trunk Just keep your eyes On the road in front [INSTRUMENTAL — 16-bar fuzz guitar break, bongos and strings accelerating] [BRIDGE — urgent melody, brass pulsing beneath] The gray car passed It didn't turn She let her breath out I felt mine burn Behind the seat The brown bag moved Not very much But enough [VERSE 4 — clipped and suspicious, strings tightening] I watched the road I watched her hand I watched her calculate And change the plan She said, "A hotel" I said, "The coast" She said, "Tomorrow" I let it go [CHORUS — fullest hook, full brass and swirling guitar] Don't look in the trunk Don't look in the trunk Just keep your eyes On the road in front [OUTRO — twang riff circling, vocal echoing over bongos] Don't look in the trunk Don't look in the trunk Two bags behind us One of us sure
