[Verse]
Lilah Warren packed her bags, didn’t even slam the door,
Left me standing in the kitchen, bare feet on the cold wood floor.
She said, “You’re too wild, boy, I can’t tame that kind of fire,”
I guess love burns out when it’s fed by whiskey and barbed wire.
[Chorus]
Where’s my boys, Brady Treat and Ryan Faye?
We’d raise hell at Caddo Lake, drinkin’ nights into the day.
Frank Moonshine in a mason jar, a machete by my side,
But now I’m sittin’ here alone, just a fool too broke to cry.
[Verse 2]
The swamp whispers secrets in the stillness of the night,
Spanish moss hangs heavy, like the weight of losing that fight.
I carved her name in the cypress tree, thought it’d last through every storm,
But now the blade’s rusted, just like the love that kept me warm.
[Prechorus]
She said, “You and your ways’ll never change, oh no,”
Now it’s just me, this machete, and the shadows I know.
[Chorus]
Where’s my boys, Brady Treat and Ryan Faye?
We’d laugh and holler, raise some Cain, down by the bay.
Frank Moonshine was the answer to every question I’d ever known,
But now the bottle’s dry, and I’m left here all alone.
[Bridge]
Oh hell yeah, I hear echoes of the life I threw away,
The crack of branches, the ripple of water, where we’d stay.
But Lilah’s gone, and the swamp won’t bring her back,
Just a machete and a memory, lost on this winding track.
