That Old House

[Guitar Solo]

[verse 1]
I rolled back in on a storm-cut sky
Dust on the dash and a .45
That old town sign still leans the same
Like it remembers my outlaw name

Neon buzz from the barroom door
Same dead street like it was before
They don’t know me after all this time
But the night still knows that line I crossed


[Pre-Chorus]
The walls still whisper the night I came
Blood on the floor, but I own no shame
Every shadow knows the path I chose
Every corner knows what I did


[Chorus]
You can ride these roads, you can change your name
But that old house still knows my name
Two bodies fell on that hardwood floor
And their ghosts still walk those boards

Miles gone by but they track me down
Every bar in every town
I came back here where it went down
To face those ghosts in that old house 


[Verse 2]
Truck in the driveway, engine still warm
I kicked in the door, walked into the storm
Her dress on the floor, ripped and torn
Voices behind my bedroom door 
Whiskey and anger flows through my blood, straight to my core

Walls soaked in blood, floorboards cracked
Every step I took, there was no turning back
Cold iron in my hand, steady and true
One shot, two shots — nothing left to lose


[Pre-Chorus]
The walls still whisper the night I came
Blood on the floor, but I own no shame
Every shadow knows the path I chose
Every corner knows what I did


[Chorus]
You can ride these roads, you can change your name
But that old house still knows my name
Two bodies fell on that hardwood floor
And their ghosts still walk those boards

Miles gone by but they track me down
Every bar in every town
I came back here where it went down
To face those ghosts in that old house


[Bridge]
I poured the gas across the floor
No turning back, no mercy anymore
Struck a match, let the flames climb high
Fire swallowed the walls where they used to lie

I walked away, not a glance behind
Smoke and embers left the past of mine
Ashes fell where the shadows played
Left the ghosts in the ruin I made


[Final Chorus]
You can ride these roads, you can change your name
But that old house burned, and nothing’s the same
Two bodies fell on that hardwood floor
Ashes and smoke now haunt no more

Miles behind me, the fire still glows
The town remembers the night it knows
I came back here to finish the score
Left the ghosts in the flames and nothing more


[Outro]
The flames crackle behind me, I don’t look back
Whispers in the wind follow a cold black track
She can’t cheat no more, and he won’t lie
I ride through the night while their shadows die

Dark, gritty outlaw country, raw & relentless, haunting vocals, cinematic storytelling, tension, vengeful tone.
