[Verse]
The moon's cracked like an old glass jar
Streetlight's hum like a broken guitar
A train's whistle howls through the midnight black
I got a shadow on the tracks
Yeah a shadow on the tracks
[Chorus]
Shadow on the tracks it won't fade away
Keeps chasing me down like a debt unpaid
I run and I run but it pulls me back
Can't outrun that shadow on the tracks
[Verse 2]
The wind whispers secrets it don't wanna keep
Like a gambler's hand you know it's running deep
Every step I take feels just like the last
'Cause there's a shadow on the tracks
Yeah a shadow on the tracks
[Bridge]
Is it me or the night
Is it fate or just time
Is it dust in my eyes or the dirt in my mind
I can't tell anymore where the road even bends
But that shadow on the tracks ain't making no friends
[Chorus]
Shadow on the tracks it won't fade away
Keeps chasing me down like a debt unpaid
I run and I run but it pulls me back
Can't outrun that shadow on the tracks
[Outro]
The whistle fades but the shadow remains
Like a tattoo etched by a ghost in my veins
The blues ride with me and they don't unpack
I'm living with a shadow on the tracks
