Dust cloud rising on a red dirt road
You’re in my shirt and my old ball cap
Bare feet up on the dashboard
Laugh lines deep from laughing back
Like thunder rollin’ in
Baby you shake me
Lightning in your eyes when you look my way
That wild heart storm keeps chasin’ me lately
I’m standin’ in the rain and I wanna stay
Yeah
Love hits hard
Like thunder rollin’ in
Sun going down on the county line
Radio low
But you’re singin’ loud
You steal a kiss at the stop sign
Turn this truck bed into holy ground
Like thunder rollin’ in
Baby you shake me
Lightning in your eyes when you look my way
That wild heart storm keeps chasin’ me lately
I’m standin’ in the rain and I wanna stay
Yeah
Love hits hard
Like thunder rollin’ in
If this is trouble
I don’t mind fallin’ (oh yeah)
If this is danger
Pull me in again
Every time you touch me
Sky starts talkin’
Rumble in my chest
Here we go again
Like thunder rollin’ in
Baby you shake me
Lightning in your eyes when you look my way
That wild heart storm keeps chasin’ me lately
I’m standin’ in the rain and I wanna stay
Yeah
Love hits hard
Like thunder rollin’ in
Like thunder rollin’ in
Been burning daylight
Like a midnight fuse
Chasing every wild hair
Got too much to lose
Last call bartender
Knows my first name
Another round of trouble
Poured straight from the blame
Save me from myself
I’m the one that keeps on driving off this road
Save me from myself
From every lie I tell when I’m alone
I don’t need an angel made of somebody else
Just somebody standing in my way
Save me from myself
Before I throw this whole damn life away
Mama’s old Bible
Rides shotgun
Unread
Dust on the dashboard
Spins circles in red
You said you’d ride with me
Through rough
Through smooth
But I keep picking wreckage
Over the truth
Save me from myself
I’m the one that keeps on driving off this road
Save me from myself
From every lie I tell when I’m alone
I don’t need an angel made of somebody else
Just somebody standing in my way
Save me from myself
Before I throw this whole damn life away
I don’t need a sermon (no)
Just a steady hand
Someone to grab the wheel
When I can’t even stand
If I slam on the brakes
Will you still stay?
Or watch me spin out
Fade out
Drift away
Save me from myself
I’m the one that keeps on driving off this road
Save me from myself
From every lie I tell when I’m alone
I don’t need an angel made of somebody else
Just somebody standing in my way
Save me from myself
Baby
Teach this fool to stay
Headlights on the blacktop
Breath hangs in the air
If there’s one thing I can’t outrun
It’s staring in that mirror there
Save me from myself
(save me, save me)

(save me, save me)
You said it was forever
Forever was a lie
Built castles out of whispers
Then watched them crumble and die
The shadows on the ceiling
They know what I feel inside
But I won’t drown
I won’t fade
This heart’s a match
And I’m unafraid
Set fire to your tears
Watch them ignite
Let the pain burn bright in the dead of night
Ashes falling
But I’m still here
Set fire
Set fire to your tears
The echoes of your laughter
They haunt my hollow halls
But I’ve learned to love the silence
To dance with my own walls
Your ghost is just a memory
A picture that dissolves
I won’t look back
I won’t break
This storm is mine to overtake
Set fire to your tears
Watch them ignite
Let the pain burn bright in the dead of night
Ashes falling
But I’m still here
Set fire
Set fire to your tears
OH YEAH!
Set fire to your tears
Watch them ignite
Let the pain burn bright in the dead of night
Ashes falling
But I’m still here
Set fire
Set fire to your tears
I won’t look back
I won’t break
This storm is mine to overtake
Set fire to your tears
Watch them ignite
Let the pain burn bright in the dead of night
Ashes falling
But I’m still here
Set fire
Set fire to your tears
OH YEAH!
Set fire to your tears
Watch them ignite
Let the pain burn bright in the dead of night
Ashes falling
But I’m still here
Set fire
Set fire to your tears
She grew up where the gravel
Kissed the county line
Red clay on her Sunday shoes
Still made the preacher smile
Snuck out to the hayloft
With a jar of fireflies
Said, “One day I’ll leave this town”
But her eyes loved those skies
She was a country girl
Bare feet on the dashboard, laughing
Heart like an August storm
Rolling in, wild and crashing
Singing to the radio, windows down, hair unfurled
I was just a lost boy
She was a country girl
She taught me how to two-step
On her daddy’s old porch boards
Moonlight through the screen door
Dogs asleep by the door
Said, “Love ain’t in the diamonds
It’s in coffee at dawn”
In the way you stay and hold me
When the hard days run long
She was a country girl
Bare feet on the dashboard, laughing
Heart like an August storm
Rolling in, wild and crashing
Singing to the radio, windows down, hair unfurled
I was just a lost boy
She was a country girl
I still drive that backroad
Where the corn leans low
Swear I hear her humming
In the static on the phone
Maybe we were too young
For the plans we drew in chalk
But her name’s in every sunset
On that rusted water tower top
She was a country girl
Bare feet on the dashboard, laughing
Heart like an August storm
Rolling in, wild and crashing
Singing to the radio, windows down, hair unfurled
I was just a lost boy
She was a country girl
Left my ring on the dresser
Right next to your goodbye note
Coffee’s gone cold in the kitchen
Like every word you never spoke
There’s a dent in the wall by the doorway
From the night I swung at the air
I keep cursing the man in the mirror
But he just stands there and stares
I’m a broken man
With these busted plans
Staring at the pieces in my hands
Thought I had it all
Watched it slip like sand
Now I’m picking up the pieces
Of a broken man
(yeah, a broken man)
Your dress still hangs in the closet
Smells like rain and cheap perfume
I sleep on the edge of the mattress
Like I’m saving you half the room
All my friends say I oughta forget you
Hit some bar
Find a softer truth
But every jukebox sad song
Sounds like it’s singing you
I’m a broken man
With these busted plans
Staring at the pieces in my hands
Thought I had it all
Watched it slip like sand
Now I’m picking up the pieces
Of a broken man
(oh, a broken man)
Didn’t know how hard I’d fall
Till I watched you drive away
Now every mile of this small-town road
Just keeps spelling out your name
I’m a broken man
With these busted plans
Staring at the pieces in my hands
If I get you back
I’ll be your better man
Till then I’m picking up the pieces
Just a broken man
(yeah, I’m your broken man)
Broken man
Broken man
BROKEN MAN! OH WHOA!
I’m a broken man
With these busted plans
Staring at the pieces in my hands
If I get you back
I’ll be your better man
Till then I’m picking up the pieces
Just a broken man
