[Intro]
Happening now: TBI investigators remain on the scene of a death investigation, it's out in Cheatham County
[Verse 1]
19 miles from the Music City lights
Where the people bring guns to big knife fights
And the sheriff don't care, so don't try to call
He might be in ties with the man on the farm
Uncle Red's on the rye and he's lost in a field
Tryna dodge that thunder that keeps strikin' these hills
[Chorus]
The road I'm on has no yellow lines
Just cracked asphalt and broken signs
The potholes filled with THC
When the streetlights disappear, you're on the Creek
Pond Creek Road
Pond Creek Road
Pond Creek Road
Pond Creek Road
[Verse 2]
These bridges are tattooed in John Deere Green
Jaybird's looks like somethin' from a movie scene
And I know who's dangerous and who's insane
Who's got the blue flame and Mary Jane
[Chorus]
The road I'm on has no yellow lines
Just cracked asphalt and broken signs
The potholes filled with THC
When the streetlights disappear, you're on the Creek
[Verse 3]
The road I'm on is a place I know
The big white church with a haunted cove
The black marks lead into another lifetime
In the side of a tall pine
[Chorus]
The road I'm on has no yellow lines
Just cracked asphalt and broken signs
The potholes filled with THC
When the streetlights disappear, you're on the Creek
Pond Creek Road
Pond Creek Road
Pond Creek Road
Pond Creek Road
[Outro]
And investigators say there are currently a lot of unanswered questions
