Back Roads Call

[Intro] Sleet taps the glass at the edge of the bay Three silhouettes wait for the road to give way [Verse 1] Cabana Bay, lockdown, twenty-four doors Three men framed for a crime that was never theirs before Ranger-trained, cold hands, eyes on the gate No speeches, no panic, just a plan and a date Snow on the gravel, gray clouds hung low Georgia on the map, but the wind cuts like snow They said, “You’re the setup,” Chief said, “I know So we follow the money where the crooked men go” [Chorus] Three in the cold, one trail in the white No one gets left when the stakes turn tonight One by one, let the false story fall Chief keeps his word when the back roads call [Verse 2] Chief has a grizzly heart, wolf-step quiet Reads a room like a map, never moves in a riot Marietta hills, old names on the phone “Stay sharp, keep your head, don’t go walking alone” Four elements, calculations, tracks in the sand Two men passed through, one set where they stand Who carried who? Let the witness decide Truth leaves a mark that the liars can’t hide [Chorus] Three in the cold, one trail in the white No one gets left when the stakes turn tonight One by one, let the false story fall Chief keeps his word when the back roads call [Verse 3] High noon in the room, wrong button, glass broke Old grudges burn down in a breath of smoke No flex for the camera, no crown to defend Just a hard-earned code and a debt to a friend Prison taught patience, the long road taught names I walk with my lessons, not chasing a claim Dad’s blood, grand prayers, six years old at the pane Three boys watched the cowards put fire to the flame [Bridge] For the ones gone before us, we carry the weight For the ones still beside us, we don’t show up late No borrowed legend, no boast for the crowd Just a hand on your shoulder when the night gets loud [Chorus] Three in the cold, one trail in the white No one gets left when the stakes turn tonight One by one, let the false story fall Chief keeps his word when the back roads call [Outro] Sleet on the bay, dawn pulling through Three men walk free with the truth in view
