Sometimes " Love Ain't Enough"

In a ramshackle bar where the moon don’t shine

I heard a hard-luck truth in a bottle of time

Some hearts burn clean, some hearts burn cruel

And sometimes love ain’t enough to break the rule

When the devil rides close and the road runs black

You can’t hold the past, can’t call it back

Sometimes love ain’t enough when the dark winds blow

When the river runs red and the cold guns glow

You can beg for a blessing, you can pray for a sign

But sometimes love ain’t enough in a soul like mine

We were born from the dust with a fire in our eyes

Tried to outrun shame beneath these rotting skies

But the law had its name and the whiskey had mine

Now I drink to the ruin and the warnings in rhyme

So I tipped my hat to the night and the grief

Kissed the ghost of your promise and found no relief

The moon hangs low on a gravel road tonight

I pour one more glass and watch the embers die

Your shadow left the porch with the edge of a blade

In this hollow little town, every vow I made decays

Sometimes love ain't enough to keep the fires from the rain

Sometimes love ain't enough in a dark country tune

When the whiskey runs bitter and the night cuts through

We can pray for redemption, but the truth still stings

Sometimes love ain't enough for outlaw hearts and broken kings

My boots know the dust where the good men broke

The sheriff knows my name, and the devil knows my smoke

I rode with a hard heart and a stolen grin

Now the bottle and the bullet both feel like kin

Sometimes love ain't enough when the law comes calling fast

Sometimes love ain't enough in a dark country tune

When the whiskey runs bitter and the night cuts through

We can pray for redemption, but the truth still stings

Sometimes love ain't enough for outlaw hearts and broken kingsSo I tip my hat to the dark and the flame

Sometimes love ain't enough, but I still call your name

Sometimes love ain’t enough when the dark winds blow

When the river runs red and the cold guns glow

You can beg for a blessing, you can pray for a sign

But sometimes love ain’t enough in a soul like mineSo I ride with my shadows and a bottle of rust

Where the broken still whisper, sometimes love ain’t enough
