Yeah
Don’t look back too long
it gets loud back there

Tail lights drip on the county line,
black glass grin and a crooked sign
Dust in the dash, still taste that heat,
left a little hell in the passenger seat

My phone lit up, I let it die,
half-truth smoke in a red moon sky
You can call me wrong, you can call me gone,
I was already dust when the tires rolled on

Backroad bend with a low bass crawl,
one hand loose, other hand on it all
No saint here, no clean getaway,
just a sharp dressed mess with a clean escape

Short breath, long road
pause
eyes on gold
I don’t outrun ghosts, I just make ‘em small,
mirror full of sparks when I leave it all

I got your name fading out in the glass
Little bit of fire, little bit of past
You can hate my touch, you can miss my speed
Either way, don’t follow me

Bad in the rearview, good in the dark
Smoke in my smile and a match in my heart
You knew what I was when you let me leave
Bad in the rearview, good in the dark

Bad in the rearview, gone by the dawn
Half of me holy, half of me gone
You can keep the blame, I’ll keep the street
Bad in the rearview looks good on me

Blue light blink from a mile away,
but the night stayed calm when I changed that lane
Leather on sweat, still smell your skin,
like trouble got saved underneath my grin

There’s a motel hymn in the radio hiss,
cheap grace riding on a goodbye kiss
Every mile mark hit like a drum,
counting up the things I’ll never become

Slide note cut through the sub down low,
heart stay rough but the hands stay slow
I don’t talk tough, I just tilt that chin,
watch the whole world lean when the tires spin

Cold air in through a cracked front pane,
old flame talk in a soft refrain
I ain’t lost, I just move like this,
with a full tank stare and a one-night wish

I got your name fading out in the glass
Little bit of fire, little bit of past
You can hate my touch, you can miss my speed
Either way, don’t follow me

Bad in the rearview, good in the dark
Smoke in my smile and a match in my heart
You knew what I was when you let me leave
Bad in the rearview, good in the dark

Bad in the rearview, gone by the dawn
Half of me holy, half of me gone
You can keep the blame, I’ll keep the street
Bad in the rearview looks good on me

Maybe I stay too long where the heat feels right
Maybe I wear goodbye like a neon light
Maybe your hands still live where my jacket creased
Maybe some kinds of love don’t come back in one piece

One road
two hearts
three white lines
no sleep
I was built for the leaving and the sting underneath

Bad in the rearview, good in the dark
Smoke in my smile and a match in my heart
You knew what I was when you let me leave
Bad in the rearview, good in the dark

Bad in the rearview, gone by the dawn
Half of me holy, half of me gone
If you see those lights, don’t beg, don’t plead
Bad in the rearview looks good on me

Don’t look back too long
it gets loud back there
Yeah
it gets loud back there
