(Verse 1) Boot dust rising in the midnight wind, Been runnin’ from the same mistakes again. Steel sky heavy on a worn-out soul, Tryna patch the pieces that life stole. Your name hits harder than a desert storm, Burns like whiskey tryin’ to keep me warm. (Pre-Chorus) I ain’t fragile, but damn I bend, Every mile feels like you again. (Chorus) I got gravel in my veins, Heartbeat hittin’ like a runaway train. Tryna shake these ghosts but they still remain, Whisperin’ your name through the cold night rain. Yeah, gravel in my veins… and it keeps me drivin’ straight into the pain. (Verse 2) Telecaster hummin’ through the speaker dust, Feels like love turned right back into rust. I hear your footsteps in the engine roar, Memories bangin’ like a slamming door. (Bridge) 808 thumpin’ under western skies, Truth comes clean but it never lies. I bleed dust, scars, and old refrains… (Chorus) I got gravel in my veins… (Outro) And I don’t know if I’ll ever feel clean again.
