[Intro]
[Ambient bar noise, distant thunder, single acoustic guitar]
[Male voice – calm, low]
[Verse 1]
Blue lights fading in the rearview glow
Cold rain pooling where the blacktop broke
I smelled gasoline and a burning prayer
Heard my mama’s voice in the midnight air
Clock on the dash said ’ninety-seven
That’s when the devil missed me by inches
Steel bent metal, glass like snow
That’s where the old me let go
[Pre-Chorus]
Doctor said, “Son, you shouldn’t be here”
I laughed like a ghost, wiped off the fear
[Chorus]
I died in the ditch back in ’ninety-seven
The man you see now’s just bonus livin’
Every breath’s a gift I never earned
Every heartbeat’s a lesson learned
Call it grace, call it stolen time
Life don’t start till the final sign
I’m walkin’ proof of a second round
Yeah, I live it loud on borrowed time
[Verse 2]
I don’t waste whiskey, I don’t waste words
I don’t chase crowns, I don’t curse the dirt
Every sunrise feels hand-delivered
Every goodbye hits a little bitter
I tip my hat to the broken souls
Still playin’ tough but losin’ control
You don’t know fire till you feel that line
Between flatline and still alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Mirror don’t lie, I see that scar
That’s a dead man starin’ back from the dark
[Bridge]
[Music drops to acoustic guitar and pedal steel only]
So if I love too hard or laugh too loud
If I say I’m sorry or don’t bow down
A dead man don’t fear fallin’ apart
He already gave death his best shot
[Spoken – very close mic, half whisper]
The grave already knows my name.
A man who’s met death don’t rush life.
[Final Chorus]
[Full band returns, restrained but powerful]
I died in the ditch back in ’ninety-seven
This skin and bone’s just extra heaven
Every breath’s a debt I gladly pay
Every sunrise’s a stolen day
Last call’s comin’, I hear that sound
But not tonight — I’m still around
When the lights go down, I’ll be fine
’Cause I already crossed that line
Yeah, I live it loud
On borrowed time
[Outro]
[Music fades, bar ambience returns]
[Spoken – low, tired, peaceful]
The grave already knows my name…
…so I ain’t in a hurry.
