Whiskey and Gravel

I woke up to a shattered sky

The moon just winked and said goodbye

My boots hit the dirt with a heavy sigh

And the road whispered

"Give it one more try"

The bottle’s empty but it still calls my name

The fire’s gone cold but it burns the same

Every step I take feels like a crooked game

And the shadows are the only ones to blame

Oh the wind howls like a ghost in my chest

A storm in my soul never gives me rest

I’m chasing dreams but I’m a little obsessed

With the taste of the night and the things I confess

My voice is gravel my heart’s a stone

I’m a dog chasing echoes of a broken bone

But in the silence I’m never alone

The road hums a tune that chills my bones

The sun cuts the sky with a rusty blade

The past keeps knockin’ but I won’t get swayed

I’ve danced with my demons in the mess they made

But I’m still standing though my soul’s decayed

Oh the wind howls like a ghost in my chest

A storm in my soul never gives me rest

I’m chasing dreams but I’m a little obsessed

With the taste of the night and the things I confess
