Rust Rider

Verse 1

You’re in an old beater car, frame rattling, engine coughing smoke.

Paint’s long gone, just metal turning brown.

Instead of sadness, it feels alive—like the decay is part of the ride.

Chorus

Celebrate the rust, the death of shine.

Celebrate the rust, the death of shine.

Post Chorus

“Rust rider / I’ll drive ‘til it’s dust”

“Rust rider / I’ll drive

Verse 1

You’re in an old beater car, frame rattling, engine coughing smoke.

Paint’s long gone, just metal turning brown.

Instead of sadness, it feels alive—like the decay is part of the ride.

Chorus

Celebrate the rust, the death of shine.

Celebrate the rust, the death of shine.

Post Chorus

“Rust rider / I’ll drive ‘til it’s dust”

“Rust rider / I’ll drive ‘til it’s dust”

“Rust rider / I’ll drive ‘til it’s dust”

Verse 2

I’m running on fumes, but my heart’s never stalled

Out of step like a relic, but I still answer the call

My body’s scraped up, my paint lays thin

But I’m roaring loud, don’t need to fit in

Chorus

Celebrate the rust,

Verse 3

Steel nerves through the gridlock, rolling past plastic dreams

Old parts rattle on, never silent, never clean

I don’t chase upgrades or the city’s parade

Still burning, still wired my old fashioned way

Chorus

Celebrate the rust, the death of shine

Celebrate the rust, the death of shine

Post Chorus

Rust rider / Kicking

Bridge

Wires all frayed and the dashlight's gone blind

But I roll by the billboards, no screens on my mind

No circuit to spark, just a kick and a pull

Running raw, stubborn soul, impossible to control

Verse 4

Red line in the sunset, I rattle down the lane

Gas fumes in my veins, freedom in the pain

Nothing to reboot, nothing to upgrade

Alive in the static, I’ll never fade

Chorus

Celebrate the rust, the death of shine

Post Chorus

Rust rider / Spitting out dust

Rust rider / Outrunning the rush

Rust rider / Outrunning the rush

Chorus

Celebrate the rust, the death of shine

Post Chorus

Rust rider / Spitting

Bridge
