Lay Me Down in Leather | Dark Outlaw Country Music - Dark Country Boy
They dug the earth with calloused hands
No golden box, no preacher stands
A jacket worn through years of fight
Now cradles me in endless night
Lay me down in leather strong
Where wheels have roared and I belong
The rain will fall, the engines hum
My final ride has surely come
The road was home, the sky my roof
The wind my truth, my only proof
A brotherhood that knew no chains
Now bids farewell through pounding rain
Lay me down in leather bones
My story sung, my spirit sown
A final rev, a fleeting spark
Then fade away into the dark
The thunder echoes hearts that ache
A bond that death can never break
One last salute from chrome and steel
To honor love that's raw and real
Lay me down in leather true
With roads ahead and skies of blue
A legacy in gears and flame
A rider's soul will ride again
