Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Sun comin’ up on a worn-out sky Boot in the stirrup, but I don’t feel right Barbed wire runnin’ like a fault through me Every mile’s another memory She said, “You chose this life, now you live alone” Now I’m ridin’ fences to a house that ain’t a home Pre-Chorus Just the sound of leather and the wind rollin’ by And a thousand little reasons I can’t justify Chorus I’m ridin’ broken lines, patchin’ up these breaks But it’s my heart fallin’ apart with every turn I make She took the kids, left dust in her trail Now this ranch just feels like a cell I gave my love for a dream gone cold Now I’m out here alone with a story untold Yeah, I’m mendin’ these wires, but I can’t fix mine Just ridin’ these broken lines Verse 2 Her coffee cup’s still by the sink inside Little boots by the door I can’t walk by A picture on the fridge says “Daddy stay” Now it’s just me and yesterday I thought I was buildin’ somethin’ that would last Didn’t know I was drivin’ straight into the past Pre-Chorus Now the only voice I hear is the wind through the pines And it sounds like goodbye every time Chorus I’m ridin’ broken lines, patchin’ up these breaks But it’s my heart fallin’ apart with every turn I make She took the kids, left dust in her trail Now this ranch just feels like a cell I gave my love for a dream gone cold Now I’m out here alone with a story untold Yeah, I’m mendin’ these wires, but I can’t fix mine Just ridin’ these broken lines Bridge If I could turn this horse around I’d chase her down, I’d leave this town Trade every acre, every prideful stand Just to hold her hand again Final Chorus (Big) I’m ridin’ broken lines, under that sunset flame Callin’ out their names, but it ain’t the same She took my world in a cloud of dust Now it’s just regret and this old man’s trust I gave my love for a life I chose Now I’m payin’ for it down every road Yeah, I’m mendin’ these wires, but I can’t fix mine Still ridin’ these broken lines Outro Yeah, I’m ridin’ these broken lines… Till the last fence post and the end of time…
