MUSIC FOR SALE

We were lightning, burnin’ holes in the sky
Said forever with tequila on our minds
Then came the silence, the slammed truck door
I watched you fade in the rear-view more and more

I swore I’d never call your name
But whiskey knows how to play that game
In every song on that FM dial
You were there all the while

Love got lost somewhere in the fight
Tangled up in wrong and right
Tried to outrun it in some stranger’s boots
But every damn road led back to you
Yeah, every damn road led back to you

I found your flannel in that drawer last June
Still smelled like cheap beer and heartbreak too
I laughed, then cried, like I always do
Guess some ghosts just don’t move

I told my pride we were done for good
But girl like me never could
Shake your name or your old tattoo
Even if I wanted to

Love got lost somewhere in the fight
Tangled up in wrong and right
Tried to outrun it in some stranger’s boots
But every damn road led back to you
Yeah, every damn road led back to you

Now here we are on your porch swing
Talkin’ ‘bout forever like it’s a sure thing
We broke, we bent, we made it through
Guess God knew what He was doin’

Love came back like a summer rain
Washin’ off all the past and pain
Still got scars, but baby they’re proof
That every damn road led back to you
Yeah, every long, lost road led back to you

Back to you…
It’s always been back to you
