📝 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know where the white lines breathe
I know where the old ghosts lean
Red paint under my fingernails
New horse learning what I mean

[Pre-Chorus]
They counted rust on my crown
I heard them laughing in the rain
But the wheel got warm in my hands
And the road remembered my name

[Chorus]
I came back laughing through the smoke
Nine turns home and the engine grins
I was not done, I was changing skins
Silver stone, let the blacktop sing
I brought my teeth and a red-winged thing

[Verse 2]
There is a bend that knows my pulse
There is a curb that keeps my sins
I kissed this place at stupid speed
And it still lets the weather in

[Bridge]
Tell the stopwatch I said hello
Tell the doubters save me a seat
I have made a church of noise
I have made a joke of defeat

[Final Chorus]
I came back laughing through the smoke
Nine turns home and the engine grins
I was not done, I was changing skins
Silver stone, let the blacktop sing
The old road bites when the red horse wins
