[Intro]
Beneath the moon’s cold, watchin’ from the dark
Whiskey in my veins, I hear that distant bark
[Verse 1]
Dusty roads and broken dreams, a silhouette in the rain
Shadowed whispers, haunted streets, carry all my pain
Old dirt beneath my nails, secrets I can't ignore
Livin’ on the edge, always wantin’ more
[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbeat’s a thumpin’, like the night’s own cry
Movin’ to the rhythm of a goodbye
[Chorus]
Bury me in the dirt where the wild grow low
Let the roots run deep, where I folks won’t know
Dark country dreams and the tears I’ve shed
Lay me down where the river’s fed
Bury me in the dirt
[Verse 2]
Where the weeping dobro echoes in the hollow
Lost in the midnight, with an aching sorrow
Heavy kick drum poundin’, like a heart’s collapse
Every step I take, a shadow I can’t outlast
[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbeat’s a thumpin’, like the night’s own cry
Movin’ to the rhythm of a goodbye
[Chorus]
Bury me in the dirt where the wild grow low
Let the roots run deep, where I folks won’t know
Dark country dreams and the tears I’ve shed
Lay me down where the river’s fed
Bury me in the dirt
[Bridge]
Faded memories and somber wind
Death’s own shadow, where I begin
Let the snare clap loud and free
Mark my end, set me free
[Outro]
So lay me down, no tears, no regret
In the dirt, where my soul’s been set
With a weepin’ dobro, slow and deep
Bury me here, in the cold, dark sleep
