You came in like a wildfire burning through my soul,
Sweet little smile but your heart was cold,
I gave you my truck, my time, my name,
You left me standing in the pouring rain.
Now there’s whiskey on the counter,
and your picture face down,
I finally found peace
when you left this town.
(Chorus)
Now there’s dust on these boots,
miles on this road,
I’m letting go of the weight
I used to hold.
You damn near wrecked me,
left scars I can’t hide,
But I found myself again
on the lonely drive.
So raise a glass to goodbye,
I ain’t losing sleep tonight,
You messed up my life, girl…
but I’m doing alright.
(Verse 2)
I remember all the nights you said forever,
While sneaking around thinking I’d never know better,
Every lie cut deep like a Tennessee knife,
You took my trust and almost took my life.
But the sunrise hit different
when I quit your games,
Now your memory fades
like smoke in the rain.
(Chorus)
Now there’s dust on these boots,
miles on this road,
I’m letting go of the weight
I used to hold.
You damn near wrecked me,
left scars I can’t hide,
But I found myself again
on the lonely drive.
So raise a glass to goodbye,
I ain’t losing sleep tonight,
You messed up my life, girl…
but I’m doing alright.
(Bridge)
Yeah I loved you hard,
but you loved control,
Now I’m somewhere out west
trying to heal my soul.
(Final Chorus)
Now there’s dust on these boots,
freedom in the wind,
Sometimes losing somebody
is how healing begins.
You can keep the memories,
I’ll keep my pride,
‘Cause the man you broke down
finally came alive.
