[Verse]
The night is thick the stars don't glow
The only friends I got are shadows below
Chasing whispers in the darkened tide
On a lonely road where dreams collide
[Verse 2]
The wheels roll slow like a mournful hymn
The bourbon burns but it's feeling dim
Past the crossroads where stories fold
I'm chasing a high that won't let me grow old
[Chorus]
Oh the blues don't lie and they don't forget
They spin me 'round in a devil's net
Lost in the echo of a tired refrain
Chasing a high but I'm chained to the pain
[Verse 3]
The streetlights flicker like a broken spark
A cigarette fades like a heart in the dark
Every mile steals a little more time
Chasing horizons that I've yet to find
[Bridge]
I call to the moon but she won't reply
Her silver faith can't light my sky
I howl the song of a restless breed
My heart's a hunger my soul's the need
[Chorus]
Oh the blues don't lie and they don't forget
They spin me 'round in a devil's net
Lost in the echo of a tired refrain
Chasing a high but I'm chained to the pain
