Gravel & Gunpowder

Lyrics [modern country rock with southern grit, male & female duet, stomping beat, distorted slide guitar leads, harmonica accents, cinematic energy] [Verse 1] Headlights cut through a dust-stained night, Blue lights flashing in the rearview sight. Your hand’s on the dash, mine’s on the wheel, Every mile’s a gamble, every turn’s a deal. [Pre-Chorus] You said “don’t look back” when we crossed that line, Now the past is burning up right behind. [Chorus] Gravel and gunpowder, smoke in the air, We’re running on faith and a whispered prayer. Every second’s louder than the one before, We ain’t going home, we’re just asking for more. [Verse 2] Town signs blur in a fever haze, The law’s close enough I can see their gaze. Your smile’s a spark in the chaos and fire, You’re the match to my runaway wire. [Pre-Chorus] You said “don’t look back” when we crossed that line, Now the past is burning up right behind. [Chorus] Gravel and gunpowder, smoke in the air, We’re running on faith and a whispered prayer. Every second’s louder than the one before, We ain’t going home, we’re just asking for more. [Bridge] If we crash tonight, let it be in flames, Better to go down wild than die in chains. [Final Chorus] Gravel and gunpowder, smoke in the air, We’re running on faith and a whispered prayer. Every second’s louder than the one before, We ain’t going home, we’re just asking for more.
