Tires on Gravel (by The Mixed Genre)
country
(Verse 1)
The porch light’s flickerin’ like it knows,
You’re halfway down that dusty road.
Tail lights fade into the dusk,
Another promise lost to rust.
I hear the echo in the air,
The quiet after you’re not there.
But what hits hardest, every time—
Is that sound as you said goodbye…
(Chorus)
🎵 Tires on gravel, rollin’ slow,
🎵 Kickin’ memories up as you go.
🎵 Each stone a word we left unsaid,
🎵 Cracklin’ like the tears I shed.
🎵 That crunch beneath your getaway,
🎵 Still haunts me more than what you’d say.
🎵 You’re long gone, but I still unravel,
🎵 Every time I hear... tires on gravel.
(Verse 2)
Coffee's cold, the swing don’t sway,
Your old flannel still smells the same.
I swept the porch but couldn’t sweep
The ghost of you from outta me.
They say time heals, I say it stalls,
When you hear your goodbye in every fall.
The mailman’s truck, a neighbor’s ride,
Brings back that sound I can’t hide.
(Chorus – Full band kicks in slightly stronger)
🎵 Tires on gravel, rollin’ slow,
🎵 Kickin’ memories up as you go.
🎵 Each stone a word we left unsaid,
🎵 Cracklin’ like the tears I shed.
🎵 That crunch beneath your getaway,
🎵 Still haunts me more than what you’d say.
🎵 You’re long gone, but I still unravel,
🎵 Every time I hear... tires on gravel.
(Bridge – stripped back, emotional)
🎙️ Maybe one day you’ll come back down,
🎙️ With suitcase dreams and a softer sound…
🎙️ But ‘til I see your face again,
🎙️ The gravel sings where love had been…
(Final Chorus – Slow and intimate first half, then rise)
🎵 Tires on gravel, rollin’ slow,
🎵 My heart still breaks with every note.
🎵 You’re a ghost behind the wheel, still near,
🎵 Each crunch a whisper I still hear.
🎵 I’d trade the silence, trade the travel,
🎵 Just to stop that sound… of tires on gravel.
(Outro – Acoustic fade-out with ambient gravel crunch)
🎙️ Tires on gravel… rollin’ home...
