Trainwreck
Intro
Verse 1
The insurance said I'm fit for work and sent me back to grind.
Turns out I'd had the cancer for years, but sure, I looked just fine.
Now the adjuster's on my tail like I'm a racketeer,
and we sold the house for pennies. Wasn't that a banner year?
Chased a promise up the coast and landed on my face,
and my play count doubled. Guess you like a basket case.
Pre-Chorus
Every time the sky falls in,
my numbers climb again...
Chorus
Everybody slows down for a trainwreck,
rolls the window down to see,
and I don't mind you looking.
I've made a catalog of me.
Hit repeat, hit share, hit like,
pour a whiskey, take a seat.
My worst year's my biggest hit,
and the encore's on repeat.
Verse 2
Wrote a song about my dying, and somebody left a heart,
and a guy in Ohio asked me if I'd sell him the art.
The algorithm loves me now. I finally found my niche:
turns out nothing trends like a woman in a ditch.
The chatbot says to call a hotline. I said, "Man, I'm doing promo.
It's not a crisis, it's a concept album, son."
Pre-Chorus
Every time the sky falls in,
my numbers climb again...
Chorus
Everybody slows down for a trainwreck,
rolls the window down to see,
and I don't mind you looking.
I've made a catalog of me.
Hit repeat, hit share, hit like,
pour a whiskey, take a seat.
My worst year's my biggest hit,
and the encore's on repeat.
Bridge
But I see you there at 2 a.m.
You've played this one ten times.
That's not rubbernecking, friend.
That's someone reading signs.
If you're on this train too,
I saved a seat by me.
We'll wave at all the gawkers.
Best view of the scenery.
Final Chorus
Everybody slows down for a trainwreck,
rolls the window down to see,
and I don't mind you looking.
I've made a catalog of me.
Hit repeat, hit share, hit like,
there's room in the caboose.
My worst year's my biggest hit,
and this train's still running loose.
Outro
Next stop: wherever.
Y'all hold on.
