Double Barrel in the Backseat


[Verse 1]
 Reko heard the word like a war drum’s call,
 “Someone’s out hunting you tonight,” that’s all.
 He grabbed the sawed-off, singing death-row lines,
 “I’ll go out blazing, not crawling on my spine…”

[Verse 2]
 Eyes wild from five days with zero sleep,
 Paranoia running loud, fast, and deep.
 I’m just the driver, but one thing was clear —
 Death was humming soft, breathing in my ear.

[Chorus]
 I drove the night with a barrel at my spine,
 Five hours riding the edge of the line.
 Heartbeat loud like a drum in a cage —
 One wrong move and I’m erased from the page.

[Verse 3]
 His lieutenant rode shotgun, keeping him cool,
 Talking soft, steady — ghost-whisper fuel.
 But demons don’t listen when you’re five days fried,
 And the backseat felt like death sat inside.

[Verse 4]
 Every stoplight hit like a warning flare,
 He’d throw open the door, sawed-off in the air.
 Scanning shadows like a hunted man,
 Till we begged him back in so the ride could stand.

[Chorus]
 I drove the night with a barrel at my spine,
 Five hours riding the edge of the line.
 Heartbeat loud like a drum in a cage —
 One wrong move and I’m erased from the page.

[Verse 5]
 Hours bled slow like the night lost track,
 Lieutenant calming him, watching my back.
 He talked in circles, voice trembling low,
 Paranoia thick as the smoke he’d blow.

[Verse 6]
 Then dawn cracked open like a lifeline call,
 “Safe house up ahead, behind that wall.”
 He stepped out slow, gun finally down —
 And I breathed for the first time since we crossed midtown.

[Final Chorus]
 I drove the night with a barrel at my spine,
 Five hours toe-to-toe with a thin red line.
 Some rides carve scars you never speak —
 When death sits breathing in your backseat.

ONE MESSAGE FROM ME TO MY CONTACT ON SOUNDCLOUD AND YOU WILL BE BANNED FOR LIFE. 

Now that we've got that straight...

I'm a songwriter and musician, have played in bands, play mostly guitar, and a bit of keyboards, but my primary passion is writing songs--creating cool songs that people can relate to. 

I like to write songs that have meaning and emotional impact, but try to also include some humor in them to make it not so serious and heavy. 

I hope you enjoy some of the songs.
