Lyrics
Description
on a two-lane ridge road where the dogwoods bow,
lane rolls slow in his pickup, mud on sleeve and brow.
porch light on friday, tailgate and neon glow,
a cooler full of twisted, scarlet jersey folded low.
red devil on his back, friday nights they chant his name,
mvp between those goalposts, small-town glory, small-town fame.
lane, stop before the lights go out,
don't trade her love for a hollow shout.
this ain't worth losin' what you've found,
she's texas sun, steady, soft and sound.
lane, stop before the lights go out,
put down that can and come on home now.
under the stadium roar he runs another play,
coaches on the sideline, town folk line the way.
but the bottle keeps whisperin' promises it won't keep,
late-night drives up ridge road where the shadows creep.
he feels the pieces fall away from the life he swore he'd own,
when the radio goes quiet and he drives that road alone.
lane, stop before the lights go out,
don't trade her love for a hollow shout.
this ain't worth losin' what you've found,
she's texas sun, steady, soft and sound.
lane, stop before the lights go out,
put down that can and come on home now.
she folds a faded t-shirt, slides a note into her coat,
leaves a line by the doorway—"don't make me beg or hope."
he sits on the tailgate, stares at an empty can,
her perfume on the porch steps, suitcase in her hand.
for one breath he sees the house, her laugh like soft spring rain,
sees the cliff that's been behind him, knows the cost of all his pain.
lane, don't let the night steal her light,
don't wake up one morning with an empty fight.
this ain't worth losin' what you've found,
she's the steady home, the only solid ground.
lane, don't let the night steal her light,
quit the bottle now, hold her tight.
lane, you put that twisted down tonight,
you walked back to her porch in the porch-lamp light.
you chose the girl from that texas town,
left the empty cans and that hard highway down.
lane, you put that twisted down tonight,
and the lights stayed on, and the love burned bright.
so here's to ridge road, to friday-night prayers,
to a scarlet jersey folded with two hands that care.
may he keep his feet on the gravel, his heart where it belongs,
lane found his way back home—he finally righted wrongs.
