Lyrics

Dust on the window, red on the sun
Ain't no prayer for the things I've done
Boot heel ringing on a boarded floor
When I leave this county, I won't come back no more
Mama kept a Bible by the kitchen flame
Daddy kept a pistol and a different name
I learned real young what a hard road costs
Every mile marker counted something lost
Blacktop hum and the engine coughs
Old steel bucking while the night peels off
Got a bad reputation stitched in my coat
And a full tank burning like a fuse in my throat
You can lock that gate, you can raise that wire
But a cornered man only walks through fire
Hear those boots come down, hear that county shake
I'm the last mistake you're gonna make
Ride hard, ride mean, let the whole world know
There's a wolf at the door and a storm below
No crown, no chain, no hand on my throat
I was born in the dirt, now I ride like a ghost
Hey!
Raise that dust, let the blacktop burn
If you cross my line, you don't get a return
Ride hard, ride mean, till the red sky cracks
You can bury my name, but I always come back
Sheriff got a warrant with my face in the fold
Preacher got a sermon about a heart gone cold
I got two good hands and a mouth full of sparks
And a map with an X where the law don't mark
South side river, 1994
Learned how to duck when the sirens roar
Now the bass hits low and the six-string bites
I make my own law underneath these lights
You can call me cursed, you can call me gone
But the road keeps singing when the doubt moves on
Hear those boots come down, hear that county shake
I'm the last mistake you're gonna make
Ride hard, ride mean, let the whole world know
There's a wolf at the door and a storm below
No crown, no chain, no hand on my throat
I was born in the dirt, now I ride like a ghost
Hey!
Raise that dust, let the blacktop burn
If you cross my line, you don't get a return
Ride hard, ride mean, till the red sky cracks
You can bury my name, but I always come back
One match, two lanes, nowhere left to hide
I hear the old train pulling on the other side
If tomorrow wants a fight, tell tomorrow come
I've got thunder in my chest and a loaded drum
Ain't looking for forgiveness
Ain't asking for a throne
Every scar is evidence
I built this road alone
Ride hard, ride mean, let the whole world know
There's a wolf at the door and a storm below
No crown, no chain, no hand on my throat
I was born in the dirt, now I ride like a ghost
Hey!
Raise that dust, let the blacktop burn
If you cross my line, you don't get a return
Ride hard, ride mean, till the red sky cracks
You can bury my name, but I always come back
Dust on the window, red on the sun
Ain't no prayer for the things I've done
The road goes black, but the engine still cracks
You can bury my name, but I always come back
