Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 (Male)] Pulled in slow Same old porch light glowing But your shadow on the blind Had a shape I didn’t know My boots hit gravel Heart went heavy in my throat Front door cracked Heard you laughing soft and low [Pre-Chorus (Male)] Keys in my fist, I froze My name on your tongue, then his clothes on the floor One breath, one look I couldn’t walk through that door [Chorus (Both)] I grabbed my daddy’s jacket and a six pack Threw that truck in gear, never looked back You ran to the porch, bare feet on the wood Hands in the air like you wished that you could Take it all back, but the taillights stayed You called my name, but I drove away You saw me, baby, but it was too late Too late, too late [Verse 2 (Female)] I heard your engine That old rattlin’ sound Saw your face in the window When the whole house crashed down I pushed him away Like dust off a frame But the picture in your eyes Said you’d never be the same [Pre-Chorus (Female)] I chased that red glow down the drive Gravel in my toes, tears in my eyes Reached for your hand But you were already gone by [Chorus (Both)] I grabbed my daddy’s jacket and a six pack Threw that truck in gear, never looked back You ran to the porch, bare feet on the wood Hands in the air like you wished that you could Take it all back, but the taillights stayed You called my name, but I drove away You saw me, baby, but it was too late Too late, too late [Verse 3 (Male Rap)] Seat laid back, can on the dash Country road blur, heart split in half Old coat smell like motor oil, smoke He taught me how to love, now I’m driving broke Static in my head, can’t hear my phone Your name lighting up, but I’m long gone Talking to the Lord like, “Show me a sign” All I see is your porch in my rearview crying [Verse 3 (Female Rap)] Front steps cold, mascara rain Bare ring finger, empty name Neighbors staring, but they don’t know How fast one bad choice can burn a home You ain’t picking up, I’m stuck on read Replaying every word that I never said If I had one more minute at that gate I’d beg, I’d break, I’d trade my fate [Bridge (Both)] [low vocal register, sparse guitar] If I turn around, would you still be there Or just dust in the driveway, smoke in the air I’m talking to the night like it answers back You’re talking to my ghost in that empty shack [Chorus (Both)] [Chorus]
Tags
rap, Modern country rap duet with male and female vocals trading lines. Acoustic guitar and dobro set the scene, then drums and a thick, swung bass slide in on the first chorus. Verses stay storytelling and sparse; chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a big, anthemic feel. Short half-time rap sections with tight hi-hat patterns, vocal ad-libs, and a soaring fiddle line in the bridge to bring the heartbreak over the top., sad, country
