Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Got a ’98 Ram 1500 Rust on the rocker Duct tape chrome Bench seat cracked Old cassette humming But she always drags me home Air freshener swinging like a trophy CB chatter Dust in my teeth City boys laugh at my bald mud tires Till they’re stuck up to the headlights Screaming for relief (hey!) [Chorus] In my ’98 Ram in the dunes Kicking up sand Chasing that moon Running wide open Heart like a Chevy on red Trying to be Richard Petty with a ball cap instead Me and my buddies Raising that dirt and fumes In my ’98 Ram in the dunes [Verse 2] Got a faded sticker from some ‘80s band Dad left the tape in the glove box years ago We blast those riffs through busted speakers Like it’s ’84 on a Friday show City boys talking ‘bout skyline condos I’m talking tailgates Tan lines Scars They got suits I got sunburned knuckles Old rock dreams and a sky full of stars [Chorus] In my ’98 Ram in the dunes Kicking up sand Chasing that moon Running wide open Heart like a Chevy on red Trying to be Richard Petty with a ball cap instead Me and my buddies Raising that dirt and fumes In my ’98 Ram in the dunes [Bridge] Headlights off We ghost ride the ridge Laughing so hard we can’t stand They say “grow up ” I say “maybe” But not while there’s gas in this can Trying to live like the ‘80s ain’t gone Stonewashed dreams in a small-town song If I never make it off this sand and sky At least I burned it bright Not wondering why (woah) [Chorus] In my ’98 Ram in the dunes Kicking up sand Chasing that moon Running wide open Heart like a Chevy on red Trying to be Richard Petty with a ball cap instead Me and my buddies Raising that dirt and fumes Yeah I’ll die proud with these dust-filled lungs In my ’98 Ram in the dunes

rock, Gritty country-rock with a driving half-time verse groove that kicks into an anthemic, four-on-the-floor chorus. Crunchy Tele and Les Paul trade riffs over a thick bass line; tom-heavy fills echo the rumble of trucks on sand. Male vocals with a raspy edge; gang shouts from the “buddies” on key lines. Big, sing-along hook, slide guitar licks in the turnarounds, and a final chorus that jumps up in energy with extra harmonies and crash cymbals., country
