Rattlesnake Lyrics by Jack Van Cleaf, Zach Bryan

JVC

2025

[Verse 1: Zach Bryan & Jack Van Cleaf]
Losing touch in Tennessee
Freedom's got the best of me
Goddamn my opportunities
And goddamn this easy livin'
Gasping for the mountain air
Crawling up the campus stairs
My throne is an electric chair
I'm stunned with indecision
[Verse 2: Zach Bryan, Jack Van Cleaf, Jack Van Cleaf & Zach Bryan]
Pray for upgrades on my soul
Tearing through an open road
Questionin' my moral code
And screaming at a windshield
Knowing better all along
Knowing all I know is wrong
Throwing up my alcohol
Am I making this a big deal?
[Chorus: Jack Van Cleaf, Zach Bryan, Jack Van Cleaf & Zach Bryan]
Oh, my skull is just a big white house
To some punk-ass kids from outta town
They stay up late and talk real loud
And sometimes I feel like kicking them out
[Verse 3: Jack Van Cleaf, Jack Van Cleaf & Zach Bryan, Zach Bryan]
Self-absorbed most of the time
Obsessed with sex and suicide
The dreams of Texas girls gone by
I lie like California
Stumblin' over all the states
Mumblin' like a basket case
"Oh, love is like a rattlesnake
Before it bites, it tries to warn ya"
[Chorus: Jack Van Cleaf & Zach Bryan]
But my heart is just a little boy
Holding hands like brand-new toys
Drunk on freedom, stuck on choice
Just cooing for the rattle's noise
[Outro: Zach Bryan, Jack Van Cleaf, Jack Van Cleaf & Zach Bryan]
Out of town and two klicks past
Found a western diamondback
It blocks my self-destructive path
I laugh, it shakes its tail
Says, "If you hurt all of your friends
And disappear around the bend
You bet you come right back again
And try to love, though you may fail"
