Left in the Dust

[Verse]
Boot heels drag through a desert of tears,
Sky cracked open, thunder sneers.
Your shadow fades, ghost in the wind,
Heart broke slow, like an old violin.
Dust on my boots, dust in my chest,
Left me hollow, you did the rest.
A tumbleweed rolls where love used to be,
Empty saddle, just the echo of me.
[Chorus]
I gave up tryin’, gave up cryin’,
Love ran dry, now I’m dyin’.
You left me here, abandoned trust,
Now I’m lonely, left in the dust.
[Verse 2]
Whiskey bottle whispers your name,
Pour it out, but it burns the same.
A lasso swing, but it caught the air,
Chasin’ love that was never there.
Broken spurs, they jingle no more,
Silence louder than a slamming door.
Stars don’t shine on this lonesome range,
You walked away, left my world estranged.
[Prechorus]
Rode the trail, thought you’d ride too,
But you let go, left me blue.
