Gravel Road Soul

[Intro] [Verse 1] Walkin’ down a dusty lane, shadows on my back, Rusted strings hummin’ hymns where the sky turns black. Mama’s voice in the wind, sayin’ “Child, don’t you fold,” Life’s a crooked river, but it’s paved in ghostly gold. Whiskey tears on a cracked leather coat, Devil’s laugh in the echoes of a broke-down note. Every step’s a question, every scar’s a rhyme, Searchin’ for the meaning in the crawl of time. [Chorus] Oh, this gravel road soul, where the weary find their name, Darkness hums a hip hop b**t, but the blues don’t play the same. Ain’t no answers in the static, just the dirt beneath my feet, Life’s a jukebox cryin’ loud in the heat. [Verse 2] Moonlight paints the potholes, skeletons in the clay, Granddaddy’s Bible verses rustlin’ far away. Crossroads whisper secrets, but they’re sellin’ me a lie, Heart’s a flickerin’ neon in a pitch-black sky. Hunger in the hollows, where the hip hop drums collide, Sweat and sin and salvation—all bleed side by side. Ain’t no saint in this story, just a sinner’s shaky hands, Carvin’ truth from the silence where the void expands. [Chorus] Oh, this gravel road soul, where the weary find their name, Darkness hums a hip hop b**t, but the blues don’t play the same. Ain’t no answers in the static, just the dirt beneath my feet, Life’s a jukebox cryin’ loud in the heat. [Bridge] Time’s a freight train draggin’ every dream I’ve stole, Love’s a wilted rose in a raven’s coal. But when the bassline trembles and the night takes hold, I’m just a gravel road soul, searchin’ for a home. [Outro]
