WEED AND SHINE

[Intro] (slow acoustic guitar — deep 808 rumble) We them backroad boys Raised on hard times and county lines Light it up… [Verse 1] Black smoke risin’ from a beat-up truck Got a Marlboro burn in my old red cup Store-bought whiskey and a zip-lock sack White gravel road and we ain’t lookin’ back Everybody broke but we still show teeth Middle-finger high to the misery Mama said, “Boy, don’t waste your soul” But this small-town life done took its toll Got a buddy locked up, got one in the grave Another drunk somewhere just driftin’ away Out here pain got a first-name basis And everybody numb from the cards we’re dealt lately [Hook] It’s weed and shine Backroad therapy on a Friday night Drink and smoke just to kill time Tryna outrun what’s eatin’ us alive Weed and shine Bonfire sparks in the midnight sky We might be lost but we still ride Yeah, we still ride [Verse 2] Bible on the dash and mud on the floor Barely holdin’ on but we still want more Gas-light glow at the liquor store sign Cold Kentucky night and a crooked white line She got cut-off shorts and a faded tattoo Heart full of hurt that she hides real smooth Dancin’ in the headlights, hair blowin’ wild Country girls dangerous after midnight County boys posted up deep in the sticks Old shotgun house and a bassline kick Everybody singin’ like they hate this town But ain’t nobody really leavin’ now [Hook] It’s weed and shine Backroad therapy on a Friday night Drink and smoke just to kill time Tryna outrun what’s eatin’ us alive Weed and shine Bonfire sparks in the midnight sky We might be lost but we still ride Yeah, we still ride [Bridge – melodic country rap] We come from rust and red clay roads Heartbreak, hard luck, heavy smoke Daddy worked hands down to the bone Now I’m out here just tryna hold on A little bit reckless Little bit scarred Little bit heaven mixed with outlaw hearts If the world goes dark, we still gon’ light Another jar… another night [Final Hook] It’s weed and shine Moonlight drippin’ through the pine Drink and smoke just to kill time While the hurt burns slow inside Weed and shine Outlaw souls in the neon light We ain’t angels but we survive Yeah… we survive [Outro] (acoustic fades with vinyl crackle) Another long drag… Another long night… Another backroad lullaby…
