Lyrics
[Intro – soft acoustic guitar strum, gentle harmonica hum]
Dust on the gravel, sun sinking low
Our boots kicked up dirt, ready to go
[Verse 1 – steady guitar rhythm, quiet foot tap]
We were half-way there, eyes on the road
Got distracted by a stray dog’s slow stroll
You hopped in the cab, that grin on your face
Hit the gas hard, left us in a haze
[Pre-Chorus – rising harmonica, building tension]
We thought you’d bolt, leave us stranded there
Heart in our throats, we didn’t care
Screamed your name loud, down the steep hill
Tripped over roots, took a hard spill
[Chorus – full acoustic strum, warm vocal harmonies]
Uncle Matt, we’re on our way
Don’t you leave us here to stray
We ran like deer, legs flying fast
Till you hit the brakes, and we caught our breath
[Verse 2 – playful guitar riff, light tambourine]
I stumbled up, tears in my eyes
Wiped the mud off, ready to cry
But you popped the door, shoulders shaking hard
Face red as a barn, laughing so hard
[Pre-Chorus – softer harmonica, playful lilt]
I yelled “what’s wrong?” voice all cracked and tight
You gasped for air, couldn’t get it right
Said you’d never seen us run so fast
Took a minute just to make it last
[Chorus – upbeat guitar, harmonica solo under vocals]
Uncle Matt, we’re on our way
Don’t you leave us here to stray
We ran like deer, legs flying fast
Till you hit the brakes, and we caught our breath
[Bridge – quiet guitar, intimate vocals]
You were my hero, gentle and kind
Just an asshole that day, messing with our minds
Tears of anger turned to tears of joy
That prank still makes us laugh, boy to boy
[Solo – melodic harmonica solo, acoustic guitar backing]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Final Chorus – full band, energetic strum, group vocals]
Uncle Matt, we’re on our way
Don’t you leave us here to stray
We ran like deer, legs flying fast
Till you hit the brakes, and we caught our breath
[Outro – fading guitar, soft harmonica note]
Dust settled down, sun long gone
That day’s still with us, all night long
