(Verse 1)
Worn-out boots on a dusty ground
Sun-baked sky without a single sound
Whiskey breath and a rusted six-string
This old highway don't mean a thing
Got a ghost in my rearview, a demon in my head
One foot in the grave and the other one dead
Every mile marker a number I can't outrun
The final showdown 'fore the settin' sun
(Chorus)
Gonna find that tombstone with my name
Carved in stone, can't hide the shame
Heavy hammer, that's my final call
Standin' tall, before I fall
Ain't no rest 'til the dirt fills my lungs
Sun setting low on the grave I dug⁸
Playin' low on a southbound train
Just a tombstone with my name
(Verse 2)
Shadows stretchin', long and lean
A broken heart, a forgotten scene
Used to be a man with somethin' to lose
Now all I got are these lonesome blues
Feel the buzzards circlin' up above
Ain't got no family, ain't got no love
Just the rhythm of the road and the wind that blows
To a place where nobody knows
(Chorus)
Gonna find that tombstone with my name
Carved in stone, can't hide the shame
Heavy hammer, that's my final call
Standin' tall, before I fall
Ain't no rest 'til the dirt fills my lungs
Sun setting low on the grave I dug
Playin' low on a southbound train
Just a tombstone with my name
**[Guitar Solo: A mix of fast, shredding metal lines and slow, melodic, and soulful bends]**
**(Breakdown)**
Yeah...
The hellhounds howlin' at my back door
I ain't runnin' from 'em anymore
This ain't a prayer, it's a final plea
For a marker where they can bury me
Just a piece of cold stone, a final mark
Lost and gone in the dusty dark
(Chorus)
Gonna find that tombstone with my name
Carved in stone, can't hide the shame
Heavy hammer, that's my final call
Standin' tall, before I fall
Ain't no rest 'til the dirt fills my lungs
Sun setting low on the grave I dug
Playin' low on a southbound train
Just a tombstone with my name
***(Outro)***
**(Sound of a shovel digging)**
Yeah... my name...
