The Camera At The County Line
TitanChord
Intro
Red flash caught my missing plate
At two thirteen, four miles too late
Verse 1
I knew where the service road went blind
Which farm dogs barked and at what time
Knew the bridge with boards pulled loose
Knew which field would hide the coupe
Granddad ran on paper maps
Creek-bed roads and fuel-cap cash
I learned every trick of his
The county learned some newer tricks
Pre-Chorus
No badge
No chase
Just one red eye
And my face
Chorus
Camera at county line
Never sleeps, it never lies
I knew every road by night
Now the road can testify
Verse 2
Gas pump saved the card and minute
Store app marked the hour I entered
Phone tower drew a narrow ring
Dash cam caught the trailer swing
Coffee cup beside the gate
Held my mouth against the case
I killed the lights and drove by feel
Every dark mile kept a reel
Pre-Chorus
No badge
No chase
Just one red eye
And my face
Chorus
Camera at county line
Never sleeps, it never lies
I knew every road by night
Now the road can testify
Bridge
Granddad vanished down a creek
No glass eye above the trees
He left nothing but his name
I left mine in every frame
Camera at county line
Never sleeps, it never lies
I knew every road by night
Now the road can testify
Outro
One road
Four eyes
