[Verse 1]
You left your coffee cooling by the window pane
A red clay footprint dried beside the gate
I found your blue scarf hanging on the kitchen chair
Like you might walk back in and find me waiting there
[Chorus]
I’m still standing where the gravel meets the road
With a pocket full of pennies and a heart too broke to fold
If the south wind brings your name, I’ll let it pass on through
But every mile I take keeps turning back to you
[Verse 2]
The porch board knocks whenever the night gets cold
That old screen door has got a story left untold
I fixed the fence you swore would never hold
Some things stay standing long after love gets old
[Chorus]
I’m still standing where the gravel meets the road
With a pocket full of pennies and a heart too broke to fold
If the south wind brings your name, I’ll let it pass on through
But every mile I take keeps turning back to you
[Bridge]
No, I ain’t asking heaven for a second chance
I just miss the way your hand fit in my hand
Some debts get paid, some scars remain
Some trains roll out and never come again
[Final Chorus]
I’m still standing where the gravel meets the road
With a pocket full of pennies and a heart too broke to fold
If the south wind brings your name, I’ll let it pass on through
But every mile I take keeps turning back to you
[Outro]
Every mile I take
Keeps turning back to you
