DARIUS STAYS PARKED

[Verse 1] Swamp was out cold by the fire Still holdin' half a rib bone tight Toby was halfway through a story For the seventh time that night Batshit was explainin' somehow Why smokin' meat counts as an invite I stood there with my arms crossed And took in the whole sight [Pre-Chorus] One look around told me Exactly what I'd find Somebody needed wranglin' Before we ran out of time [Chorus] Toby, walk Batshit, move I'm not havin' this debate with you Swamp can sleep The fire's dark But Darius stays parked Darius stays parked Under those stars above Some folks need a ride home Some folks just need a little love [Verse 2] Toby said, "Billie, I can explain" I said, "No, I really don't care" Batshit claimed the smoke invited him Like that made him belong there Then I looked across the gravel Past the cooler and old yard light glow There sat Darius in his pickup Listening to the radio [Pre-Chorus] Engine off, window down Just watchin' the night unwind Like he wasn't missin' anything Just enjoying a little time [Chorus] Toby, walk Batshit, move I'm not havin' this debate with you Swamp can sleep The fire's dark But Darius stays parked Darius stays parked Under those stars above Some folks need a ride home Some folks just need a little love [Bridge] He wasn't lonely He wasn't lost Wasn't countin' what the evening cost Just sittin' with a good night Before it slipped away Sometimes the heart needs quiet More than words can say [Final Chorus] Toby, walk Batshit, move I'm not havin' this debate with you The chairs are stacked The porch light's dark But Darius stays parked Darius stays parked While the crickets sing along Some folks leave the party Some folks stay with the song [Outro] I took the troublemakers home Left the dreamers where they are And Darius stayed parked Beneath the stars
