You Still Got It

“Ride to Consciousness” is a true story — the real-life awakening of Pick, who journeyed from a straight-laced boarding school boy to a self-aware young man during one Christmas break home in the winter of 1983–1984.

Told through the lens of Appalachian American outlaw Southern Rock, the song embodies a ride of rebellion, rhythm, and revelation. Pick — the true outlaw in both spirit and life — captures that pivotal moment when conformity gave way to clarity and consciousness took the wheel.

It’s more than a song. It’s the moment that changed everything.

Ride to Consciousness

[Verse 1]
 I got holes in my boots and a half-charged phone
 A voice on the line sayin’, “Come back home”
 But the road rolls on like a long goodbye
 Ain’t got no answers, just reasons why

 [Verse 2]
 I leave things messy, I leave too soon
 I talk to God ‘neath a blue moon
 Ain’t proud of the man I was today
 But I still keep walkin’ anyway

 [Chorus]
 And you… still got a light on
 Still got a light on
 Like you always do
 Even when I don’t come through
 And I… still got your laugh saved
Somewhere in that backwave
 Of a mind that forgets
 But a heart that regrets
 Yeah, you… still got a light on

 [Verse 3]
 I’ve been livin’ on fumes and motel prayers
 Tryin’ to outrun my own empty stares
 But I see your porch like a beacon tonight
 Still burnin’ soft, still burnin’ right

 [Chorus]
 And you… still got a light on
 Still got a light on
 Like you always do
 Even when I don't follow through
 And I… still got your laugh saved
Somewhere in that backwave
 Of a mind that forgets
 But a heart that regrets
 Yeah, you… still got a light on

 [Bridge – quiet, breakdown]
 Maybe one day I’ll be worth the wait
 Pull in clean, not runnin’ late
 But until then, if it ain’t too wrong…
 Keep that light on

 [Final Chorus – slow, full harmony]
 ‘Cause you… still got a light on
 Still got a light on
 Like you always do
 Even when I’m far from true
 And I… still got your name there
 Pinned to the hope I still wear
 If there’s grace in the end
 Maybe I’ll make it again…
 To you… with that light on

 [Outro – solo bass and soft guitar]
 Yeah, you…
 Still got a light on…

You...Still Gotta Light On
