[Verse 1]
Mud on our boots
Old dusk in the pines
You laughing at my cast
Missing every time
Truck bed full
Of nothing but stories
You said, “We ain’t rich
But this here’s glory”
[Pre-Chorus]
Now that road is quiet
Passenger seat feels cold
I keep driving circles
Chasing what I can’t hold
[Chorus]
I’m stuck between backroads and heaven
You’re gone but you’re riding along
Every cast, every track, every sunrise
I hear you in every old song
I’m talking to your shadow beside me (yeah)
Like you’re still here in this clothes
Heart on the line in this camo and smoke
’Cause holding you close
Is harder than letting you go
[Verse 2]
License on the dash
Name I can’t say
I still pack your rod
Like you’re running late
Mama at the window
Eyes on the drive
Praying one more time
You’d pull up alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Grief like gravel
Kicks up when I move
I curse at the sky
Then I swear I feel you
[Chorus]
I’m stuck between backroads and heaven
You’re gone but you’re riding along
Every cast, every track, every sunrise
I hear you in every old song
I’m talking to your shadow beside me (oh)
Like you’re still here in this clothes
Heart on the line in this camo and smoke
’Cause holding you close
Is harder than letting you go
[Bridge]
Tell me, can you see this river
From wherever you had to fly
Do the bucks run bigger
On that side of the sky
If I get one more season
I’ll spend it slow
Living the way
You’d want me to grow (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m stuck between backroads and heaven
You’re gone but you’re riding along
Every cast, every track, every sunrise
I hear you in every old song
I’m talking to your shadow beside me (hey)
Like you’re still here in this clothes
Heart on the line in this camo and smoke
’Cause holding you close
Is harder than letting you go
Yeah holding you close
Is harder than letting you go
