Country Rider

Sun’s creepin’ over these broken lines
Boots up on the peg where the backroad shines
Leather jacket’s got a map stitched in dust and wire
I’m a country rider, baby, fuel fed by fire

Got no fence gonna hold this mile
Got no judge for this reckless smile
All I need’s that chrome and a heart gone wild
Where the gravel sings soft and the dusk goes mile after mile

I’m a country rider — born for this sky
Steel in my soul and a ghost by my side
Throttle wide open where the fence lines die
Yeah, I’m a country rider — ‘til the day I ride that final high

Old roadhouse flickers in my rearview glass
Neon hush hums where the lost ones pass
Buddy’s grin ridin’ shotgun, whisperin’ truth
No brakes on this promise, just a whisper of youth

I got lines I ain’t crossed and roads I will
I got dreams in my pocket and time to kill
Let the city sleep tight — I’m gone ‘til dawn
Country rider hummin’ this hush song

I’m a country rider — born for this sky
Steel in my soul and a ghost by my side
Throttle wide open where the fence lines die
Yeah, I’m a country rider — ‘til the day I ride that final high

If you see my taillight fading down that road
Know I’m chasing that hush that the city sold
Got a promise to keep with the neon grin
I’ll ride it ‘til dusk brings me home again

I’m a country rider — born for this sky
Steel in my soul and a ghost by my side
Throttle wide open where the fence lines die
Yeah, I’m a country rider — ‘til the day I ride that final high
I’m a country rider — hush in my eye
Yeah, I’m a country rider — let the hush never die
