Echo Hits Back (Country Road Version)

in the corner about his boss in a band said some things about a girl that he can't take back and the jukebox died when the room heard that next day at the before you got here he said I've got free speech boss said that's true but I got freedom not to keep a mouth like you in this land I let you speak your mind but it won't rewind when you cross that line you're free to light that fuse but you don't choose where it cracks every word you throw out rise the wind and rise it back you ain't free from the fallout when the echo hits back she went live on her phone about her so-called friends spilled ten years of secrets for some clicks and trends got a hundred little hearts on a glowing screen but the next through just a whole lot of silence where the laughter grew she said they all fake but the truth that stung was the bridge she burned with her own sharp tongue you can call it just a joke or I was just mad but the hurt don't heal cuz you say mine are bad you're free to light that fuse but you don't choose where it cracks everywhere back you can blame this town say they're too thin skinned but you swung that door and it slammed in the end you got rights that's true but here's a simple fact you ain't free So count to ten for your hits and think about tomorrow when you're best good friend. Cause a little more grace and a little more tech beats living along cause your mouth attacked. You're free to light that fuse but you don't choose where it cracks. Every word you throw out rides the wind and rides it back. You can stand your ground, you can hold your fuse. Just remember there's It's true, but here's a simple fact You ain't free from a fallout When the echo hits back Just a small town truth Or a big ol' trap Mind the words you throw Cause the echo hits back
