[Intro] [Whistle the Blues]
[Verse 1]
I came in by noon
Left by sundown
One boot on the brake
Still can't slow down
Whiskey on my breath
Dust on my sleeve
Marine Corps pain
Too hard to leave
[Verse 2]
Travel town to town
Same cracked barroom floor
Same cheap flickering light
Same blocked locked door
I asked for the lonesome road
Got a blank stare back
Don't know where I'm headed
But I drive the same Ol’ track
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been bent
I’ve been burned
Turned around
Never learned
Got a chest full of pain
And a dead-end song
If I keep on moving
I know I can't stay long
[Chorus]
Lost soul, lost soul (lost soul)
Can't tell right from wrong
Lost soul, lost soul (lost soul)
I've been gone too long
Empty heart, empty heart (empty heart)
Can't feel the pain no more
Hell bound, hell bound (hell bound)
At every swinging door
[Verse 3]
Medals in a box
Back home in the rain
The names on the wall
Still call my name
I raise that glass
Like a prayer gone bad
Try to drown the ache
That I always have
[Pre-Chorus]
I been bent
I been burned
Turned around
Never learned
Got a chest full of pain
And a dead-end song
If I keep moving
I know I can't stay long
[Chorus]
Lost soul, lost soul (lost soul)
Can't tell right from wrong
Lost soul, lost soul (lost soul)
I've been gone too long
Empty heart, empty heart (empty heart)
Can't feel the pain no more
Hell bound, hell bound (hell bound)
At every swinging door
[Bridge]
If you see me talkin'
Don't trust what I say
I'm a storm in a bottle
Tryna drink out the day
Mama said, son
You were born to roam
But a man can get lost
Even on the way home
[Final Chorus]
Lost soul, lost soul (lost soul)
Can't tell right from wrong
Lost soul, lost soul (lost soul)
I've been gone too long
Empty heart, empty heart (empty heart)
Can't feel the pain no more
Hell bound, hell bound (hell bound)
At every swinging door
[Outro]
One more town
One more fight
I keep my shadow
Out of sight
Lost soul, lost soul (lost soul)
