Lyrics

Intro

Spoken Intro"You thought you could double-cross me and drive away clean? Honey, you don't know the kind of storm you're playing with. Roll it."introVerse 1I tracked your headlights down a lonely gravel roadAt midnight under a moon where the crimson flowedYou thought you could cheat me, thought you could runBut you're staring down the barrel of a smoking gunNo more tears in the dark, no more crying for meJust a cold-hearted reckoning that you're about to seeChorusDark heavy stomp and rumbling chantDrop to your knees! (Crowd: Drop!)Beg for some mercy! (Crowd: No!)Outlaw retribution! (Crowd: Hell yeah!)Crimson moon rising! (Crowd: Rise!)Leave you in the dark! (Crowd: Left!)Stranded in the dust! (Crowd: Yee-haw!)Verse 2You can scream to the trees, scream to the windBut you're never gonna see my face smiling againI took your silver lighter and I took your keysLeaving you stranded on your cheating kneesThe dust is gonna swallow every lie you toldAs this wild wildflower leaves you freezing and coldChorusDark heavy stomp and rumbling chantDrop to your knees! (Crowd: Drop!)Beg for some mercy! (Crowd: No!)Outlaw retribution! (Crowd: Hell yeah!)Crimson moon rising! (Crowd: Rise!)Leave you in the dark! (Crowd: Left!)Stranded in the dust! (Crowd: Yee-haw!)BridgeMusic strips back to just a grinding bass line and a slow, heavy foot-stompThe fire is catching and the bridge is burnedThat's the final lesson that you ever learnedCrowd building a low, powerful countdown chant: Burn! Burn! Burn! Hey!Final ChorusThe entire band explodes into a massive, dark Southern rock wall of soundDrop to your knees! (Crowd: Drop!)Beg for some mercy! (Crowd: No!)Outlaw retribution! (Crowd: Hell yeah!)Crimson moon rising! (Crowd: Rise!)Leave you in the dark! (Crowd: Left!)Stranded in the dust! (Crowd: Yee-haw!)TagThe slide guitar screams high and wildYeah, stranded in the dustCrowd shouts: All by yourself!The crimson moonCrowd shouts: Watching you fade!
