Graveyard Sock Hop

[Verse 1] Late shift Cigarette halo in the strip mall rain Rust bucket Ford in the back lot Parked by the busted crane Receipt tape Stuffed in my wallet like dead bouquet Clock reads 3:13 And it never feels like day [Chorus] This a graveyard sock hop, demons in Chuck Taylors Two‑step in the floodlights, dancin' with my failures Radio stuck on sad songs, static in my spine If I'm goin' down tonight, I'm takin' back what's mine [Verse 2] Mama on a payphone prayer Callin' through the diesel hum Boss man say "you ain't worth much" Laughin' with his thumb on my sum But my granddad's ghost in the rearview Tap the glass when the doubt gets loud Says "boy, you came from dust and thunder You ain't built to serve that crowd" (nah) [Chorus] This a graveyard sock hop, demons in Chuck Taylors Two‑step in the floodlights, dancin' with my failures Radio stuck on sad songs, static in my spine If I'm goin' down tonight, I'm takin' back what's mine [Bridge] Boot prints on the dashboard Bible in the door panel, page torn Laughin' on the way to the landslide Heart like a rusted horn (oh) [Chorus] This a graveyard sock hop, demons in Chuck Taylors Two‑step in the floodlights, dancin' with my failures Radio stuck on sad songs, static in my spine If I'm goin' down tonight, I'm takin' back what's mine
