[Verse 1]
Your boots by the door
Still caked in red clay
You said you were downtown
When I saw the dust on your sleeve
I asked you once, easy
You looked right past me
Like a screen door in wind
Like you knew I would leave
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep your eyes low
I keep my hands steady
That old house knows
When the air turns heavy
One lie at a time
You’ve been building that wall
And I can hear it crack
When you call
[Chorus]
Hiding the truth
That ain’t a road
You can drive me through
Baby, it always comes back
To you
[Verse 2]
I found that receipt
Folding in your coat
Tried to laugh it off
But it sat in my throat
You said it was nothing
Just a wrong little night
But your phone lit up blue
And it told me you lied
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep your eyes low
I keep my hands steady
That old house knows
When the air turns heavy
One lie at a time
You’ve been building that wall
And I can hear it crack
When you call
[Chorus]
Hiding the truth
That ain’t a road
You can drive me through
Baby, it always comes back
To you
[Bridge]
If you want out
Just say it plain
Don’t dress it up
Don’t throw that blame
I loved you hard
I stayed too long
Now the porch light’s on
And I’m moving on
[Chorus]
Hiding the truth
That ain’t a road
You can drive me through
Baby, it always comes back
To you
[Outro]
Say it plain
Or let it go
I won’t keep
What I already know
