Reaper Rides Shotgun
TitanChord
He got in at a red light.
Didn't ask.
Verse 1
Tank's on empty and the moon's on bone
Three states gone since I called it home
Glove box rattles with a thing I owe
He don't flinch, he just says go
Cold hand resting where the map should be
Pointing down a road I can't unsee
I quit asking how this story ends
You don't argue with the man who lends
Pre-Chorus
He don't blink
He don't speak
Just taps the dash
When I get weak
Chorus
Reaper rides shotgun
Boots on the gas, dust in the glass
He don't grab the wheel, he just points down the road
I keep both hands on the wheel
I keep both hands on the wheel
Verse 2
Saw my own face in a gas-station glow
Older than the man I used to know
He just smiled like he'd seen it before
Every driver thinks he's not the door
Mile markers counting like a clock gone wrong
Radio only plays the one song
I ain't running, I'm just keeping pace
You can't outrun a passenger seat
Pre-Chorus
He don't blink
He don't speak
Just taps the dash
When I get weak
Chorus
Reaper rides shotgun
Boots on the gas, dust in the glass
He don't grab the wheel, he just points down the road
I keep both hands on the wheel
I keep both hands on the wheel
Bridge
He's a good rider, never says a word
Just lets me drive the long way to the end
And every time I think I lost the road
He taps the dash again
Reaper rides shotgun
Boots on the gas, dust in the glass
He don't grab the wheel, he just points down the road
I keep both hands on the wheel
I keep both hands on the wheel
Outro
I keep both hands on the wheel
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.
