Track Insight / Lyrics
Yeahhh
Dash blink, heart sink
Here we go.
Got that orange light starin’ me down
Like it knows I run this town
Mechanic said “you should come in soon”
I said “next week… or June”
Girl text “we need to talk”
I said “same, but my truck won’t walk”
Priorities got a funny twist
One breaks down, one gets dismissed
[Pre-
Ain’t no fix for either one
Both cost more than what I’ve done
But the beat don’t judge my mess
So I dance instead of guess
That check engine loves to glow
Blink blink like it runs the show
I’m two-steppin’ with what I don’t know
Hopin’ it won’t blow
Yeah I’m smilin’ like it’s fine
While it eats my last dime
If you ask why I’m wild—
That check engine loves to shine
[Drop /
HEY!
Light goes FLASH like—NO NO NO
Kick goes BOOM and I still don’t slow
Hands up high, we ignore that sign
If it breaks, it breaks on time
Friend said “man, you’re playin’ a game”
I said “yeah, denial’s the name”
Dashboard singin’ in minor key
Like it’s got a vendetta on me
Banjo snaps like a bad idea
Snare roll creepin’ up in my ear
Girl said “boy, you never change”
I said “neither does that gauge”
If it dies, we push it home
If she leaves, I sleep alone
Either way, I’ll hit that bar
Fix my life from afar
[Final Chorus /
That check engine loves to glow
But I still got places to go
Whole damn night in a radio show
Dancin’ through the unknown
Yeah I’m ridin’ that red light
Turnin’ wrong into alright
If you ask why I’m wild—
That check engine loves to glow
(YEEHAW!)
