Green Sky Gospel

[Verse 1] Bug guts on the windshield, coffee in a foam cup, Half the crew's still arguing if the cap'll hold her up. Somebody lost a charger, somebody forgot a lens, Somebody swears this setup's just like May of ten. Trash talk in the parking lot, weather maps and bad tattoos, Laughing loud enough you'd think we had nothin' left to lose. But every grin and smart-ass line's just courage in disguise— Cause we all know what waits for us beneath those darkening skies. --- [Pre-Chorus] Phones start buzzing, heads turn west, The jokes get quieter than the rest. Someone grins and shakes his head— "Boys… she's turning green." --- [Chorus] We ride by the Green Sky Gospel, Mother Nature bats last. She'll let you dance and let you dream, Then she'll humble you real fast. So hammer down, but know the line, Respect her teeth and power. Chase her beauty while you can, Thank the Lord for every hour. --- [Verse 2] Convoy rolling, radios buzzing, music shaking every door, Everybody fighting friendly for the best side of the core. Missing exits, laughing hard, calling each other blind, But every voice out on that air knows we're family down the line. Folks outside think we're crazy, think we're fools that love the thrill, Truth is every one of us knows this ride could get us killed. Still we roll because somebody's got to stand and bear the proof— Those warnings save a thousand lives when radar needs the truth. --- [Pre-Chorus] Velocity starts tightening, Nobody's laughing quite the same. Not fear—just understanding— She ain't playing games. --- [Chorus] We ride by the Green Sky Gospel, Mother Nature bats last. She'll let you dance and let you dream, Then she'll humble you real fast. So hammer down, but know the line, Respect her teeth and power. Chase her beauty while you can, Thank the Lord for every hour. --- [Verse 3] Blue lights fading, rain lets go, Rolling slow where the hard winds blow. Church doors open, folks step out, Shaken up, but walking now. Kids hold tight to mama's hand, Neighbors helping neighbors stand. And through the wreckage, fear and tears, Thankful hearts outweigh the years. Somebody waves as we ease on through, Don't know our names and don't need to. Cause every scan and every call, Bought somebody one more dawn. --- [Bridge] Pictures on dashboards, ducks on the dash, Names etched in chrome from storms long passed. Old voices riding every mile, Teaching us respect and why. Cause bravery ain't acting tough, It's showing up when things get rough. Laughing loud before the dance, Knowing full well you don't stand a chance. But maybe one more warning call, One more minute saves them all. And if that's all we're remembered for— Then brother, what a life it's for. --- [Final Chorus] We ride by the Green Sky Gospel, Mother Nature bats last. She'll let you dance and let you dream, Then she'll humble you real fast. So hammer down, but know the line, Respect her teeth and power. Chase her beauty while you can, Thank the Lord for every hour. Raise some hell, enjoy the ride, But never let your pride decide. Cause tomorrow ain't a guarantee— And that's what keeps us free. --- [Outro] Bug guts on the windshield, Mud dried on the doors. Coffee cups and tired eyes, Pulling in once more. Talk some trash, laugh too loud, Argue what tomorrow brings. Cause if the sky turns green again— We'll answer when she sings.
