inny on the way got distracted .

[Intro – acoustic guitar strum] Dust on the gravel, sun hot as hell Our boots kicked up dirt, ready to go [Verse 1 – steady guitar rhythm, foot tap] We were half-way there, Got distracted by a stray dog’s slow stroll that grin on your face when you Hit the gas on that hook truck ,Dougins now in the past. [Pre-Chorus – rising drums and electric guitar,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,] Uncle Matt, we’re on our way Don’t you leave us here 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 so hard Face red as a barn, from laughing so hard [Pre-Chorus [, 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 ] Uncle Matt, we’re on our way Don’t you leave us here We ran like deer, legs flying fast Till you hit the brakes, and we caught our breath [Bridge – just vocals]] You were my hero, gentle and kind Just an asshole that day, messing with our minds [guitar and drums ] Tears of anger turned to tears of joy That prank still makes us laugh, boy to boy [Solo –acoustic guitar drums backing] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – Uncle Matt, we’re on our way Don’t you leave us here We ran like deer, legs flying fast Till you hit the brakes, and we caught our breath [Outro – fading guitar,] Dust settled down, sun long gone That day’s still with us, we had so much fun
