Текст песни
[Verse 1] I came back through your county With dust on my boots Past that feed store sign And the red clay route Your porch light was gone But I knew that tree The same old swing creaked Where you waited on me [Verse 2] The screen door still hollers Like it did back then And the yard got quiet When I rolled on in Your mama's old table Still bears the scar From the night we swore We'd never drift this far [Pre-Chorus] Now the sky looks heavy Over that river bend And I feel that old hurt Comin' back again If I call your name out Will you hear me through? Or is that love gone missing Like I went and did to you [Chorus] Backroad ashes Backroad ashes We burned so bright Now we just ache Backroad ashes Backroad ashes One last spark For the road we made [Verse 3] I found your note Stuck under the jar Said "don't you leave me With a broken heart" I should've stayed I should've been there But pride wore me thin And a hard life wore me bare [Pre-Chorus] Now the sky looks heavy Over that river bend And I feel that old hurt Comin' back again If I call your name out Will you hear me through? Or is that love gone missing Like I went and did to you [Chorus] Backroad ashes Backroad ashes We burned so bright Now we just ache Backroad ashes Backroad ashes One last spark For the road we made [Bridge] I can hear that lead line Cry through the pines Like a train in the dark On a lonely line And I swear I'm holdin' What little I can But some flames turn to embers In a poor boy's hands [Chorus] Backroad ashes Backroad ashes We burned so bright Now we just ache Backroad ashes Backroad ashes One last spark For the road we made [Outro] If you ever come home I'll be by the gate With the same old guitar And a heart that stayed
