[Verse]
Boots in the mud, can't scrub the stain
Heart got a crack like a windowpane
Whiskey river runnin', can't numb the brain
A storm in my chest, thunder rolls in my veins
Truck rattles, engine groans, can't escape
Tires spin circles, like my fate
A shadow in the rearview, but it won’t fade
You're the mistake I just can't shake
[Prechorus]
Gravel spits, skies turn gray
Ain't no compass, lost my way
[Chorus]
You're the mistake, I keep on chasin'
A wildfire burnin', my soul's erasin'
You're the mistake, I can't replace it
My heart keeps fallin', no way to brace it
[Verse 2]
Cigarette smoke, it lingers slow
Ashes in the tray like my hopes below
Words I never said, stuck in my throat
Truth got buried, now it’s ghostin' my soul
A neon cross, barroom shrine
Prayin' for a fix, one more time
But redemption's a myth, no dotted line
You're the mistake, can't call you mine
