Lyrics

[Verse]
There's a dog on my porch with a growl in his chest
Every time a truck rolls by he won't rest
Small-town life it's a dead-end show
Dreams packed up in the rearview nowhere to go

[Pre-Chorus]
The sound of engines drowns my peace
But Max barks louder he'll never cease
I see the fight in his fiery eyes
And somehow it makes me realize

[Chorus]
Max hates trucks and I hate this town
We're stuck in the middle just spinning around
But his bark's a reminder of battles to fight
Even in darkness there's still a light

[Verse 2]
Neighbors talk 'bout the good old days
When joy was simple in a thousand ways
But I'm feeling trapped in this dusty cage
Dreams unfolding on a different stage

[Chorus]
Max hates trucks and I hate this town
We're locked in this circle just spinning around
But his bark's a reminder of staying true
Even in going nowhere there's a clue

[Bridge]
The open road it calls my name
But fear and doubt play their cruel game
Max stands guard with a fearless pride
Makes me feel stronger deep inside
