[Intro] 
 0:14
Verse 1: 
 0:15
Old F-150 in the yard, 
 0:15
Paint chipped from every scar. 
 0:17
Windows rattle, engine coughs, 
 0:20
Took her through nights I won’t talk about. 
 0:27
Every dent’s a Friday night, 
 0:30
Every scratch tells a fight I survived. 
 0:33
Pre-Chorus: 
 0:40
Thought I could drive forever, 
 0:40
Leave it all behind. 
 0:43
But time don’t care— 
 0:46
It won’t wait for pride. 
 0:48
Chorus 
 0:52
Hard livin’ catches up with you, 
 0:52
Just like this truck, worn through and through. 
 0:58
Rust in the frame, tires bald and frayed, 
 1:04
Every mile tells the life you made. 
 1:11
Hard livin’ catches up with you, 
 1:17
Heart and engine both pay their due. 
 1:24
Verse 2: 
 1:31
Seats torn where I leaned too far, 
 1:31
Coffee stains mix with cigarette tar. 
 1:33
Dashboard cracked, night lights glow, 
 1:37
Like the nights I spent chasing shadows. 
 1:43
She’s been driven fast, parked wrong, 
 1:46
But kept on rollin’, never slowed too long. 
 1:49
Pre-Chorus: 
 1:55
Thought I could outrun the damage, 
 1:55
Keep the engine runnin’. 
 1:59
But the road’s long— 
 2:01
It never forgets. 
 2:04
Chorus 
 2:08
Hard livin’ catches up with you, 
 2:08
Just like this truck, worn through and through. 
 2:13
Rust in the frame, tires bald and frayed, 
 2:20
Every mile tells the life you made. 
 2:26
Hard livin’ catches up with you, 
 2:33
Heart and engine both pay their due. 
 2:39
Bridge: 
 2:46
Maybe I’m that old truck, 
 2:46
Tired eyes, calloused hands. 
 2:49
Still rollin’, feel the weight 
 2:53
Of choices I can’t erase. 
 2:55
Chorus 
 3:02
Hard livin’ catches up with you, 
 3:02
Like this old truck, runnin’ out of truth. 
 3:05
Rust in the frame, tires bald and frayed, 
 3:09
Every mile tells the life you made. 
 3:13
Hard livin’ catches up with you, 
 3:20
Heart and engine both pay their due.Hard livin’ catches up with you. 
 3:27
