Dylan Gossett is keeping his foot on the gas pedal. Fresh off massive milestones like his 2x Platinum breakout anthem “Coal” and his 2025 debut album Westward, the Texas singer-songwriter is gearing up for his sophomore record, Ramblin’, dropping September 25 via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records.

As part of the rollout, he just dropped a brand-new acoustic track called “Clothesline”

Inside the Lyrics of “Clothesline”

If you’ve ever found yourself sliding back into a toxic dynamic just because it feels familiar, Dylan’s new single is going to hit a little too close to home. Built around stripped-down acoustic instrumentation, “Clothesline” captures that exhausting push and pull of recurring heartbreak.

The hook sets the tone straight away:

“I know you’re just gonna hang me out to dry / So close to bein’ left on that clothesline / Oh second guessing’s always left in this old heart of mine.”

It’s raw, vulnerable, and leans heavily into the kind of honest lyricism that made fans fall-in-love with his writing in the first place.

What to Expect From Ramblin’

“Clothesline” follows up previous album releases like “Loving You Like That,” “My Boy,” and “Honeysuckle”. Together, these tracks point toward a much more grounded era for the 27-year-old Austin native.

After years of relentless global touring—selling out rooms across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia—Ramblin’ was written out of a desire to return home. The project focuses heavily on family, relationships, and finding your footing after the whirlwind of life on the road starts to settle.

Alongside the standard streaming drop, Dylan also shared a live performance video of “Clothesline” filmed right at his family’s lake house outside Austin. It’s totally stripped-back and worth a watch if you want to see him play it in its purest element.

Catch Him on Tour

If you want to catch these new songs live, he’s got plenty of chances coming up. Dylan is hitting the road for a massive co-headlining U.S. tour with Charles Wesley Godwin, followed by headline dates overseas in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.

Head over to your favorite streaming platform to spin “Clothesline,” pre-save Ramblin’ ahead of September 25, and let me know in the comments if you’re planning to catch him on this next tour leg.
