[Intro - Distant Banjo Riff, Engine Idle, Low Spoken Male Voice] Six miles south. That's where the road stops... and the trouble starts. [Verse 1 - Deep Raspy Male Rap] There's a dirt road nobody names Cuts through the fields like a loaded game Old wood fence, rusted wire One dead sign and a telephone fire Everybody knows what happened there Nobody talks when they see you stare Six miles south of the county line You learn real quick what stays behind [Banjo Fill - Short Twangy Riff] [Verse 2 - Gritty Half-Spoken Rap] There's a house with a porch light on Been burning every night since the summer's gone No one's seen the owner for years But nobody's touching what's still in there They say the sheriff knows the truth They say he buried it with his youth I don't care what the rumors say I've got my own reasons for coming this way [Hook - Deep Male Lead + Low Vocal Doubles] Six miles south That's where you'll find me Six miles south Where the road runs empty Six miles south Past the last street sign If you're looking for trouble You just crossed the line [Instrumental Break - Banjo Riff + Heavy Drums] [Low Vocal Ad-Libs] Six miles... Six miles south... [Verse 3 - More Aggressive Rap] I don't knock when I know who's inside I don't ask twice when somebody lies I've got dust on my boots and a score to settle Cold night air and a heart made of metal But I ain't here to play the hero Ain't here to make the story sound clean Some roads carry more than memories Some places remember what you've been [Pre-Hook - Beat Drops] You can run north. You can run west. But everybody knows... [Low Vocal] Six miles south. [Hook - Full Beat] Six miles south That's where you'll find me Six miles south Where the road runs empty Six miles south Past the last street sign If you're looking for trouble You just crossed the line [Breakdown - Banjo Only, Low Spoken Voice] They'll tell you it's nothing. That's how you know it's something. [Final Hook - Full Instrumentation + Vocal Layers] Six miles south That's where you'll find me Six miles south Where the road runs empty Six miles south Past the last street sign If you're looking for trouble You just crossed the line [Final Hook Variation] Six miles south No lights, no warning Six miles south You won't see me coming Six miles south When the night gets cold Some roads lead nowhere... Some roads lead home. [Outro - Banjo Riff Fading] [Low Spoken Male Voice] Six miles south... You know the place.
