Gun in the Glove Box
(Verse 1)
Cruisin' down the highway, with the windows rolled down,
The sun sets behind me, painting gold on the town.
Got my favorite tunes playing, but my mind's on the road,
A little weight beside me, where the secrets are stowed.
(Pre-Chorus)
In this world of uncertainty, I try to feel free,
But the shadows keep whispering, they're calling to me.
(Chorus)
There's a gun in the glove box, loaded and ready to go,
A line drawn in the pavement, between safety and woe.
With every turn of the wheel, I'm dancing with fate,
In a world full of danger, it's a fine line I hate.
(Verse 2)
Saw a flash in the rearview, heart starts to race,
Is it a friend or a foe, or just a ghost I can't face?
Got my hands on the steering, my thoughts in a spin,
Wondering if that cold steel can keep me safe within.
(Pre-Chorus)
But it's heavy in the silence, a burden I bear,
With every mile I travel, it's a question laid bare.
(Chorus)
There's a gun in the glove box, loaded and ready to go,
A line drawn in the pavement, between safety and woe.
With every turn of the wheel, I'm dancing with fate,
In a world full of danger, it's a fine line I hate.
(Bridge)
I keep it close for protection, but it feels like a chain,
A paradox of power, mixed with a hint of pain.
When the night falls around me, and the darkness creeps in,
Will it shield me from the monsters, or invite them within?
(Verse 3)
So I drive on through the twilight, with my heart in my throat,
A rebel on the edges, but I'm learning to cope.
There's courage in the stillness, but fear in the spark,
With a gun in the glove box, I'm both light and the dark.
(Chorus)
There's a gun in the glove box, loaded and ready to go,
A line drawn in the pavement, between safety and woe.
With every turn of the wheel, I'm dancing with fate,
In a world full of danger, it's a fine line I hate.
(Outro)
So I'll keep driving forward, with my foot on the gas,
Knowing life is a journey, and the shadows won't last.
But as long as I'm breathing, I'll be ready to fight,
With a gun in the glove box, I'll find my own light.
