[Verse 1]
There's a diner out past Highway Nine
Where the coffee's cold and the clocks don’t chime
The jukebox hums a ghostly tune
And the shadows stretch beneath the moon
Nobody asks
Nobody knows
Where even the baddest guys won’t go
[Chorus]
Where the wind won’t speak
And the lights don’t glow
Where the river bends but it won’t ever flow
You can hear your sins
Whisper low—
That’s where even the baddest guys won’t go
[Verse 2]
The gravel crunches like breaking bones
And the air is thick with tales untold
A rusted sign swings
Creaks and groans
While a crow picks clean a pile of stones
They say it’s cursed
It’s hollow ground
A place where no redemption’s found
[Chorus]
Where the wind won’t speak
And the lights don’t glow
Where the river bends but it won’t ever flow
You can hear your sins
Whisper low—
That’s where even the baddest guys won’t go
[Bridge]
I went there once
With a heavy heart
Thought I’d leave my pain where the world fell apart
But the silence screamed
The darkness grew
And it mirrored every scar I knew
[Chorus]
Where the wind won’t speak
And the lights don’t glow
Where the river bends but it won’t ever flow
You can hear your sins
Whisper low—
That’s where even the baddest guys won’t go
