[Verse 1]
I wanna sell my house, it’s down a long country road,
Where the map forgets, and the tall grass grows.
The shutters hang loose, paint's peeling in the sun,
The porch light flickers like a life almost done.
[Chorus]
Down a long country road, where the shadows stretch wide,
Every mile feels heavy, like a heart I can't hide.
I’m leaving behind what I can’t carry no more,
Down a long country road, to another front door.
[Verse 2]
The mailbox leans like it’s tired of the wait,
Rust on the hinges, and a gate that won’t stay straight.
The well’s gone dry, the wind moans through the pine,
This house ain't a home, just a memory of mine.
[Prechorus]
I’ve fought with the ghosts, but they don’t fight fair,
This land's got a sorrow, too much for me to bear.
[Chorus]
Down a long country road, where the shadows stretch wide,
Every mile feels heavy, like a heart I can't hide.
I’m leaving behind what I can’t carry no more,
Down a long country road, to another front door.
[Bridge]
The creek still whispers, but it don’t call my name,
The fields still whisper, but it don’t feel the same.
I’ve planted my roots, but they withered in the clay,
Time to pack it all up, and let this place fade away.
