Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dirt road
Moon like a busted lantern
Your name
Carved in my thumb like habit
One key
Hangs from the rear-view swinging
Thin chain
Cutting the dark between us
[Chorus]
I got heartbreak lockets in my pocket
Tiny graves I carry 'round
Every promise, every whisper
Pressed in there, can’t make a sound
Out here on this frontier lonely
Wind keeps callin' what I lost
Heartbreak lockets in my pocket
Each one stamped with what you cost
[Verse 2]
Cold bed
Half of the quilt still waiting
Tin roof
Counting the storms you started
Your note
Folded and frayed from fingers
Three words
Burned but they never answered
[Chorus]
I got heartbreak lockets in my pocket
Tiny graves I carry 'round
Every promise, every whisper
Pressed in there, can’t make a sound
Out here on this frontier lonely
Wind keeps callin' what I lost
Heartbreak lockets in my pocket
Each one stamped with what you cost
[Bridge]
If I tear these chains and throw 'em
To the coyotes and the dust (oh, the dust)
Will you finally turn and leave me
Or haunt the empty like you must
[Chorus]
I got heartbreak lockets in my pocket
Names I never speak out loud
Every memory like a bullet
All lined up and silver proud
Out here on this frontier lonely
Just your ghost and all this land
Heartbreak lockets in my pocket
And your ring mark on my hand
[Intro]
Echoes of the past, slipping through my hands
Heartbeat fading, lost where I stand
[Verse 1]
Got heart break lockets in my pocket, memories tightly spun
Holding onto echoes of the love that’s come undone
They were the only ones I trusted, now they're just dust
Fading into shadows, fading into rust
[Pre-Chorus]
I reach for what was real, but it slips away
Silent tears falling, nightly by the day
[Chorus]
Now you're gone and it's just dust, just empty air
Crumbled in my hands, nowhere to compare
Heart break lockets, memories unjust
Lost in the silence, lost in the dust
[Bridge]
Where did we go wrong? Was it just fate?
Walking through the ashes, hoping it's not too late
Holding onto relics, stories of us
But all that’s left is just dust
[Outro]
Heart break lockets in my pocket, love’s refrain
Fading like the night, dissolving in the rain
Now you're gone and it's just dust, just dust

Style
country, Dark, cinematic country: baritone male vocals with a cracked edge, slow brushed-kit groove, tremolo baritone guitar and mournful pedal steel. Verses stay hushed and close-mic’d; chorus swells with low harmonies and a distant church organ pad. Subtle tape saturation and roomy reverb give a windswept, frontier-at-midnight feel.
