Russian RouletteEric Church

Released: April 16, 2021

Songwriter: Monty Criswell Casey Beathard Eric Church

Producer: Jay Joyce

Yeah, I’m blowin’ the doors off this hang around town
Holdin’ this old gun metal grey Chevrolet pedal down
Lead foot in a steel toe
Out runnin’ the memories, rackin’ up miles
Gettin’ gone as I can takin’ my chances spinnin’ that dial
And so far,I’m on a roll, yeah, I’m on a roll

Ain’t nothing gonna kill these horses tonight
But a song like a bullet from a dashboard light
Gettin’ shot through the speakers both left and right in stereo
Messin’ up my head, playin’ Russian Roulette with the radio

It’s been touch or go tryin’ to get gone couple close calls
But I just call up a station on down the line
Keep that needle in that red linе zone
Yeah maybe wеst is best, pick up I-85
Chase that settin’ sun, till it parks in the sky
But hell, I don’t know, only thing I know

Ain’t nothing gonna kill these horses tonight
But a song like a bullet from a dashboard light
Gettin’ shot through the speakers both left and right in stereo
Messin’ up my head, playin’ Russian Roulette with the radio

I need a melody without a memory
Take me where I’ve never been
I hear ‘em gunnin’ for me
I feel ‘em huntin’ for me
But I ain’t tunin’ them in

I still ain’t over you
But I can feel it comin'
Kind of like the rhythm to these tires hummin'
That signal comes and goes
I hold my breath and hope nothing

Nothing gonna kill these horses tonight
But a song like a bullet from a dashboard light
Gettin’ shot through the speakers both left and right in stereo
Messin’ up my head, playin’ Russian Roulette with the radio
Messin’ up my head, playin’ Russian Roulette with the radio

Eric Church

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
