Lyrics: [Intro] [Chorus] There's a bottle of the bourbon sitting right on the dash Watching all my high hopes turning right into ash I got dirt on my boots and a ghost in my bed And a whole lot of empty running round in my head (Yeah I said) There's a bottle of the bourbon sitting right on the dash Watching all my high hopes turning right into ash I got dirt on my boots and a ghost in my bed And a whole lot of empty running round in my head [Verse 1] Yeah, look, started from the basement with a hole in the sole Every window in the crib was letting in the bitter cold Had to hustle in the winter just to put it on the stove Now I'm selling out the cities everywhere I gotta go But the shadow in the mirror looking exactly the same All these people taking pictures, they just after the name I got ash on the carpet of the Cadillac floor Got a couple million dollars but I'm looking for more I've been speeding on the liquor trying to outrun the past Looking at the speedometer, I'm going too fast Yeah I hear 'em talking crazy but they speaking in code I'm a legend in the making, yeah I carry the load Pour a double on the rocks and I'm letting it burn It's the only kind of lesson that I seemingly learn (Wait for it...) [Chorus] There's a bottle of the bourbon sitting right on the dash Watching all my high hopes turning right into ash I got dirt on my boots and a ghost in my bed And a whole lot of empty running round in my head (One more time!) There's a bottle of the bourbon sitting right on the dash Watching all my high hopes turning right into ash I got dirt on my boots and a ghost in my bed And a whole lot of empty running round in my head [Verse 2] Yeah, I remember sleeping on the floor of the trap Put the whole Midwest right on the back of the map Now the diamonds on my fingers shining bright as a star But I still feel empty sitting right at the bar Got a model in the Chevy riding shotgun tonight But she only really looking at the glow of the lights It's a lonely kind of living when you hit the top tier Everybody want a favor but nobody is near So I light another blunt and I'm fading to black Got a target on me now, got a knife in the back I ain't asking for forgiveness, I ain't looking for grace I'm just trying to wipe the blood off a beautiful face Yeah I'm pushing to the limit till the engine explode I'm a king on a throne at the end of the road (Bring it back!) [Chorus] There's a bottle of the bourbon sitting right on the dash Watching all my high hopes turning right into ash I got dirt on my boots and a ghost in my bed And a whole lot of empty running round in my head (Sing it!) There's a bottle of the bourbon sitting right on the dash Watching all my high hopes turning right into ash I got dirt on my boots and a ghost in my bed And a whole lot of empty running round in my head [Outro] (Running round in my head...) (Yeah.) #CountryTrap #SouthernGothic #TheHotBoxCollective #MidwestTrap #AshAndBourbon
