[Verse 1] Dust on my boots Mouth full of prayers I don’t trust Headlights carving Through a tunnel of brush and rust That old green sign Shot through Leaning like it might fold Name of this town Feels heavier every mile I roll [Chorus] These county line ghosts keep riding my bumper They know every wrong turn I drove But I ain’t gonna die on this shoulder I’m dragging my heart down this road If the night wants a piece of my spirit It’s gonna have to wrestle my bones These county line ghosts keep riding my bumper But hope’s riding shotgun Saying “go” [Verse 2] Porch light flickers Like it’s caught between now and then Same old story Everybody swears they’re born again Gravel starts to Sound like chains underneath my wheels I taste freedom And a little blood on the steering wheel [Chorus] These county line ghosts keep riding my bumper They know every wrong turn I drove But I ain’t gonna die on this shoulder I’m dragging my heart down this road If the night wants a piece of my spirit It’s gonna have to wrestle my bones These county line ghosts keep riding my bumper But hope’s riding shotgun Saying “go” (go, go) [Bridge] I’ve been the rumor I’ve been the prayer they spoke half-sure I’ve been the sinner Sleeping in the back pew But I’ve seen a sunrise Crack open a sky this blue If there’s a way out I’m gonna drive straight through [Chorus] These county line ghosts keep riding my bumper They know every wrong turn I drove But I ain’t gonna die on this shoulder I’m dragging my heart down this road If the night wants a piece of my spirit It’s gonna have to wrestle my bones (come on) These county line ghosts keep riding my bumper But hope’s riding shotgun Saying “go” (go, go) Yeah Hope’s riding shotgun Saying “go”
