[intro-verse 1]
sittin' on the porch, my whiskey in the breeze,
Dreams shattered, ive been brought to my knees.
These Guitar strings are cryin', they echo in the night,
I was chasin' that dream, but I lost the will to fight.
Thoughts of ridin them ole’ backroads, where the truth hiccup.
Where I used to get my next get up.
[Chorus]
Dusty roads and broken dreams,
Nothin' ain't like what it seems.
Pushing loved ones to the edge,
Better off without me, if I jump off this ledge.
My Souls heavy, hearts full of lead,
This Whiskey's my sermon, the broken bottles are the preachin man
There’s Nightmares sittin' in this ole chevy,
Dad said fuckin with this shit would end up deadly
[Chorus]
Dusty roads and broken dreams,
Nothin' ain't what it seems.
Pushing my loved ones to the edge,
Better off without me, if I jump off this ledge.
[Verse 2]
The Money’s tight, my struggles thicker than mud,
My Family's tears there mixed with sweat and blood,
Can't lift them up, I’d crush em’ with my own weight,
This Solitudes my lover, and loneliness is my fate.
[Chorus]
Dusty roads and broken dreams,
Nothin' ain't like what it seems.
Pushing loved ones to the edge,
Better off without me, if I jump off this ledge.
[Verse 3]
The Past haunts me, while the memories cut deep like a knife,
All the Promises that were broken, with tangled web full of lies,
There’s a Shadow of a man, fading in to the skies,
Fightin' for a spark but end up with failed attempts to try
[Bridge]
Every bars a church, let my neon sins confess,
Goin' through the motions, and still stuck in this fuckin mess,
My Dreams are rusted, there rotting with despair,
There’s Freedom in the stars, fading like smoke in the air.
[Chorus]
Dusty roads and broken dreams,
Nothin' ain't like what it seems.
Pushing my loved ones to the edge,
Better off without me, if I jump off this ledge.
