[Verse 1]
Dust kicks up, boots scuff the gravel road,
A shotgun sky, where the storm clouds corrode.
Whiskey in my veins, got my past in my pack,
Every mile a memory I can't take back.
Wind howls hollow through the pine's sharp teeth,
Lost in a landscape that won't grant relief.
[Chorus]
Tell me twice, tell me again,
Why the truth cuts deeper than the wind.
Bruised my soul, broke my spine,
Still, I’m chasing ghosts in a land that ain’t mine.
[Verse 2]
Crows on the fencepost, staring me down,
Silence too loud in this two-horse town.
Heart heavy as the church bell's clang,
Echoes of regret where the angels sang.
Broke a promise, carved it in stone,
Now I’m running through a world that feels overthrown.
[Pre-Chorus]
Moonlight whispers, but it don’t heal,
Darkness swallows every deal.
[Chorus]
Tell me twice, tell me again,
Why the truth cuts deeper than the wind.
Bruised my soul, broke my spine,
Still, I’m chasing ghosts in a land that ain’t mine.
[Bridge]
Fingers on the trigger, heart on the mend,
Shot through the dusk where the lines never bend.
Razor-wire dreams and an outlaw's grin,
Living on the edge of where it begins.
