I Saw It Coming

Road was empty… just me and the lines Late enough I stopped watchin’ time There’s a curve I know real well Took it fast… like I always tell

Headlights cut through the bend ahead Same old stretch I never dread Hands stayed firm, foot stayed down Didn’t even think to turn around

There’s a second you don’t forget Right before it all connects

I saw it comin’… clear as day Didn’t lift… didn’t change Just held that wheel like I always do Like I’d drive right through

I saw it comin’… didn’t fight Didn’t brake… didn’t try Just one of those things you understand Too late… to change your hand

There was gravel where it shouldn’t be Felt it slip underneath of me Rear kicked out just a little bit Could’ve caught it… I know I did

Guardrail flashed in silver light Close enough to feel it bite Time went thin, sound went gone Like the whole world paused mid-song

That’s the moment… clear and clean Where you know what it means

I saw it comin’… clear as day Didn’t lift… didn’t change Just held that wheel like I always do Like I’d drive right through

I saw it comin’… didn’t fight Didn’t brake… didn’t try Just one of those things you understand Too late… to change your hand

It ain’t fear… It’s somethin’ else

Like you already know how this ends

I saw it comin’… let it ride Didn’t run… didn’t hide Every mile led to this Just a line I couldn’t miss

I saw it comin’… held it straight Didn’t leave it up to fate If it breaks… then it breaks That’s the road a man takes
