Graveyard County Line
country, Slow-burn dark country ballad with male vocals; low-tuned acoustic and twangy baritone guitar over a dusty, dragging shuffle. Sparse verses with close, intimate vocal; chorus swells with stacked harmonies and a roomy snare. Subtle organ drone and distant slide guitar add dread, with a tense bridge that strips to vocal and guitar before one last, heavy chorus.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Found your Bible in the backseat
Pages torn where you wrote my name
Blood-red lipstick on the rearview
Like a curse you tried to frame
Chorus
Meet me at the graveyard county line
Where the crosses lean and the crows still dine
You swore you'd leave, I swore you'd be mine
Now your ghost rides shotgun
Down the graveyard county line
Verse 2
Sheriff asked about the river
Said it’s been running high at night
Saw my boots all stained in gravel
I just smiled and killed the light
Chorus
Meet me at the graveyard county line
Where the crosses lean and the crows still dine
You swore you'd leave, I swore you'd be mine
Now your ghost rides shotgun
Down the graveyard county line
Bridge
I keep your ring in the ashtray
Still warm from the flame
Every mile I drive gets darker
But the road keeps saying your name (your name)
Chorus
Meet me at the graveyard county line
Where the crosses lean and the crows still dine
You swore you'd leave, I swore you'd be mine
Now your ghost rides shotgun
Down the graveyard county line
