[Intro – Soft, Melodic Lead-In]
(Hummed harmony under the beat)
Mmm… yeah…
Gravel in my heart but I paved this ride…
Still got her ghost sittin’ right by my side…
---
[Hook – 8 Bars]
🎵 Dirt on my boots, pain on repeat
Ridin’ through towns where you used to be (used to be)
Sun goin’ down, but my guard don’t sleep
You left love, now I ride with a piece (yeah)
Voicemails sound like a dream I lost
Whiskey in my chest, yeah, I paid that cost
If love’s a road, then I drove off track
Got gravel in my heart, can’t take it back 🎵

[Verse 1 – 16 Bars]
🎵 I been low, I been high with it (uh)
Took Ls and I cried with it
She packed up and said "you’ll change,"
Now I pull up like I’m fine with it
But I ain't (nah), still feel that rain
When her name come on, I replay that pain
Heart got dents like the side of my Ford
But I still put miles on a fake love flame
Back when we danced in the bed of my truck
I ain’t have much, just a vibe and luck
Now I got racks but the hole don’t close
Buy me peace, but it don’t feel close
I still ride slow past her driveway turn
That silence loud — that memory burn
Told God take the wheel if I stall
But I still float when her name get called 🎵

[Hook – 8 Bars]
🎵 Dirt on my boots, pain on repeat
Ridin’ through towns where you used to be
Sun goin’ down, but my guard don’t sleep
You left love, now I ride with a piece
Voicemails sound like a dream I lost
Whiskey in my chest, yeah, I paid that cost
If love’s a road, then I drove off track
Got gravel in my heart, can’t take it back 🎵

[Verse 2 – 12 Bars]
🎵 Heart still bend when the beat drop low
Got a ring in the dash that I can’t let go
Her laugh still loop in my late-night ride
But I change that lane when the hurt too wide
City boy drip with a country soul
I lost that girl but I gained control
She said I ain’t real ‘til I prove I care
But she dipped when I needed air
Now I flex but I still feel broke
Still sing when I miss that glow
Still ride with the ghost I know 🎵

[Final Hook – 8 Bars]
🎵 Dirt on my boots, pain on repeat
Ridin’ through towns where you used to be
Sun goin’ down, but my guard don’t sleep
You left love, now I ride with a piece
Voicemails sound like a dream I lost
Whiskey in my chest, yeah, I paid that cost
If love’s a road, then I drove off track
Got gravel in my heart, can’t take it back 🎵

[Outro – Soft Harmony Layered]
🎵 I paved that road… still can’t let go…
Gravel in my soul… and she don’t even know… 🎵
