Prompt / Lyrics
--- 🎤 [Intro – 4 bars, soft vocal lead-in] 🎵 Left the house with the porch light on Didn’t know where I was headed, just gone Dashboard cracked, my hands both shake But the silence louder than the brakes 🎵 --- 🎤 [Verse 1 – 8 bars] 🎵 I pulled off where the gravel bends Used to be the place I swore would end Thought I’d see her waitin’ like before Now it’s just me, shadows, and a closed door The rearview holds more than my past I keep blinkin’ tryin’ not to crash Wasn’t raised to cry or stall But the wheel don't feel like mine at all 🎵 --- 🎤 [Chorus – 8 bars] 🎵 So I sing to the dark with a broken voice Ain’t sure if the sky ever gave me a choice No preacher, no choir, just gears and grace Asking questions I’m too scared to face The road don’t answer, but it don’t judge And I ain’t proud of who I was If Heaven hears what's in this air… It’s ridin' through my stick shift prayers 🎵 --- 🎤 [Verse 2 – 8 bars] 🎵 Still wear the chain she gave last spring Even though it burns like a guilty thing Used to hold her like I’d never leave Now I trace her goodbye in the worn-down seat The miles I’ve run can’t outpace blame Every song I hum still calls her name Wish I had the words to bring her peace But I drive through pain that don’t decrease 🎵 --- 🎤 [Bridge – 4 bars, lifted tone, airy delivery] 🎵 Forgiveness ain't always in a church Sometimes it's found in the way things hurt So I let go with every mile I steer Whisperin' faith through my own fear 🎵 --- 🎤 [Final Chorus – 8 bars] 🎵 I’m not askin’ for gold or signs Just a reason why I break at the lines A little light where my shadows hide Somewhere soft for my soul to ride Tried to pray like my father taught But my truth came out in a different thought Whatever finds me, finds me bare… I left it all in stick shift prayers 🎵 ---
