Mutiny at Midnight - 454 Lyrics

As I came home that night
The house didn't show no light
All the things running through my brain
And I could barely see through that rain
That front door hung open wide
But there was nothing but the dark inside
I turned to head to the car
When I realized you couldn't have got far

You're gone
I had this feeling you weren't coming back
Now that you're gone
Never knew the night could be so black
With my mind in a haze and my stomach in knots
Everything inside was beginning to rot
That goddamn radio was playing that song
And everything had all gone wrong
You're gone

I took the only road from home
That needle climbing as the engine moaned
I finally see your taillights ahead
And that needle she's reaching red
I pulled into the other lane
I could see his face through the rain
When it hit me my heart had sunk
You were probably tied up in the trunk

I tried to get ahead and block the road
But that engine was about to explode
I don't know who was screaming more
Was it me or that 454?
And I don't think I heard that gun
But I knew damn well just what he'd done
That engine was laid to rest
As the blood poured out of my chest
