Heartbreak on the Dirt Road

With the sun sinking low, down past the pine,

There’s a feeling in my chest that I can't seem to hide.

She packed up her bags, left me here all alone,

Now it’s just me and this old gravel road.

Heartbreak on the dirt road, tears mix with the dust,

Every mile I walk just echoes my trust.

Wished on every star in the wide-open sky,

That she’d come back and we'd stop saying goodbye.

Saw her smile fade when we hit troubled times,

Didn't see the cracks forming in the lines.

Now every memory feels like a ghost,

Haunting these fields where we loved the most.

Heartbreak on the dirt road, tears mix with the dust,

Every mile I walk just echoes my trust.

Wished on every star in the wide-open sky,

That she’d come back and we'd stop saying goodbye.

The wind whispers secrets she left behind,

But it won’t tell me why she changed her mind.

I’m holding on to shadows as I drive through the night,

Searching for a glimpse of that lost fight.

Now the letters she wrote, they sit in a drawer,

Next to the ring she don’t wear anymore.

I’ll always keep those pictures in mind,

Of the life we planned but couldn’t find.
