[Intro]
Verse 1:
Old F-150 in the yard,
Paint chipped from every scar.
Windows rattle, engine coughs,
Took her through nights I won’t talk about.
Every dent’s a Friday night,
Every scratch tells a fight I survived.
Pre-Chorus:
Thought I could drive forever,
Leave it all behind.
But time don’t care—
It won’t wait for pride.
Chorus
Hard livin’ catches up with you,
Just like this truck, worn through and through.
Rust in the frame, tires bald and frayed,
Every mile tells the life you made.
Hard livin’ catches up with you,
Heart and engine both pay their due.
Verse 2:
Seats torn where I leaned too far,
Coffee stains mix with cigarette tar.
Dashboard cracked, night lights glow,
Like the nights I spent chasing shadows.
She’s been driven fast, parked wrong,
But kept on rollin’, never slowed too long.
Pre-Chorus:
Thought I could outrun the damage,
Keep the engine runnin’.
But the road’s long—
It never forgets.
Chorus
Hard livin’ catches up with you,
Just like this truck, worn through and through.
Rust in the frame, tires bald and frayed,
Every mile tells the life you made.
Hard livin’ catches up with you,
Heart and engine both pay their due.
Bridge:
Maybe I’m that old truck,
Tired eyes, calloused hands.
Still rollin’, feel the weight
Of choices I can’t erase.
Chorus
Hard livin’ catches up with you,
Like this old truck, runnin’ out of truth.
Rust in the frame, tires bald and frayed,
Every mile tells the life you made.
Hard livin’ catches up with you,
Heart and engine both pay their due.Hard livin’ catches up with you.
