Whiskey and Wildflowers

Dust on my boots and a song in my throat

Heart's been dragged like an old

Tired coat

Whiskey in my hand but it won't mend the tear

Wildflowers bloom but I’m worse for the wear

Oh the wind carries secrets it won't let me keep

The river's got stories too heavy

Too deep

I’m chasing a dream that keeps slipping away

But I'll find my voice at the break of the day

Moonlight’s a liar

It hides what it sees

Promises scatter like leaves in the breeze

The road’s full of stones but it’s all that I know

Each step’s a question of where I should go

Oh the wind carries secrets it won't let me keep

The river's got stories too heavy

Too deep

I’m chasing a dream that keeps slipping away

But I'll find my voice at the break of the day

The stars don’t judge and the sky doesn’t care

But the night feels lonely when no one is there

The fiddle plays soft like it knows my pain

And I hum along through the thunder and rain

Oh the wind carries secrets it won't let me keep

The river's got stories too heavy

Too deep

I’m chasing a dream that keeps slipping away

But I'll find my voice at the break of the day
