Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Moon on the pine gap

Blood on my shoe

Branches keep grabbing

Like they know me too

I hear the hill breathe

I hear your boots

One wrong step, baby

And I’m gone for good

[Pre-Chorus]

I see that cut mark

Carved in the bark

I know your shadow

Waiting in the dark

My hands are shaking

My lungs feel tight

If I turn around now

You’re right behind

[Chorus]

Don’t leave the trail!

I can’t outrun

What calls my name

Don’t leave the trail!

One lost step

And I’m meat in the rain

[Verse 2]

Old fence split open

Sawed clean through

Black creek running

Like a vein of blue

Your axe goes thud-thud

Through the rotten oak

Every bird up the ridge

Flies off and goes

[Pre-Chorus]

I smell wet iron

I feel your grin

The trees keep leaning

Letting you in

No cabin light now

No road, no town

If I stop moving

You’ll pin me down

[Chorus]

Don’t leave the trail!

I can’t outrun

What calls my name

Don’t leave the trail!

One lost step

And I’m meat in the rain

[Bridge]

Hear my mama praying

Far across the ridge

I was born to run

But I’m trapped in this

Fiddle screaming high

Like a saw through bone

If you catch me, baby

Tell the woods I’m home

[Final Chorus]

Don’t leave the trail!

I can’t outrun

What calls my name

Don’t leave the trail!

One lost step

And I’m meat in the rain

Don’t leave the trail!

I see your axe

In the thunder stain
