[Intro: Spoken in Deep Baritone over moaning slide]: "The sun’s low now But it still burns hot Rearview’s full of things I forgot A diner’s neon calls But I drive right past Chasin’ a future that’s outrunnin’ my past Lordy, it’s me again, ridin’ steel and breathin’ dust... Keep this rig straight, ‘cause my mind’s been swervin’ enough. Lawd have mercy, it’s me again, ridin’ this ol’ road, dust in my throat... Keep this wagon steady, ‘cause my heart’s been wanderin’ plenty." [Verse 1: Lead, Smooth, Worn but Weathered]: "Oh Lordy, O Lawd, keep this truck rollin’ down this highway, Keep this ol’ cart rollin’ down this lonesome trail GPS won’t quit barkin’, won’t let me sway. Wind’s howlin’ fierce, won’t let my spirit fail. Fiddle’s tryin’ to hush it... Music’s tryin’ to drown it, my soul wanna to stay, But the devil’s in the breeze, hollerin’ “Don’t you stray.” And it screams through the speakers: Put that phone away." [Pre-Chorus: Choir-like Baritone Layer]: "One voice sayin’ ‘Drive,’ One voice sayin’ ‘Pray,’ One voice sayin’ ‘Boy, You gon’ see the All’s Clear someday.’" [Chorus: Full Fusion Explosion: Full Gospel Surge]: "Oh Lordy, oh Lordy, O Lawd... O Lawd... Keep me twixt them ruts, aimed between them lines. If I hold fast... If I comply ‘fore I lose my mind, Will that voice give me the All’s Clear sign? The Heaven’s sign?... Oh Lordy... O Lawd... keep me pushin’... Drivin’ blind." [Verse 2: Drill-Infused Flow: Work-Chant Rhythm]: "808 rumble like a storm in the cab, Hooves be poundin’ like a storm in the night, AI talkin’ like my old man’s jab. Ol’ preacher’s words hittin’ like a whip’s bite. ‘Hands at ten and two,’ like I’m back in school, “Keep them reins tight,” like I’m still a chile, But I’m grown and broke, still playin’ by the rules. I’m grown and weary, walkin’ mile on mile. All I wanted was a song to keep me sane, I wanted was a hymn to keep me whole, Now my lifeline’s screamin’ my license plate name. And the wind’s callin’ out my weary soul." [Bridge: Bluesy Breakdown with Harmonica & Foot-Stomp: Swampy Breakdown with Harmonica & Sub-Bass]: "I ain’t scared of dyin’, Just scared of not arrivin’. If freedom got a price, Guess I’m payin’ while survivin’. I ain’t feared o’ dyin’, Just feared o’ not gettin’ there. If freedom got a cost, I’m payin’ with my prayer." [Pre-Chorus: Choir-like Baritone Layer]: One voice say “Ride on,” One voice say “Pray,” One voice say “Son, You gon’ see the Glory Day.” [Final Chorus: Layered Vocals, Banjo Wailin’, Guitar Crying]: "Oh Lordy, oh Lordy, O Lawd... O Lawd... Keep this road beneath my wheels. Beneath my feet... Tell that voice I heard the deal, The call complete... But I won’t quit... Won't stop singin’ what I feel. What my heart do beat... Oh Lordy... O Lawd... give me somethin’ real. Somethin' sweet..." [Outro]: "Oh Lordy Keep this truck rollin’ Got a full tank but my heart’s on E The asphalt stretches It keeps on goin’ But the weight of the miles It’s crushin’ me"
