Текст песни
[Verse 1] I found your letter in the kitchen drawer Folded where the silverware had been The coffee stain had blurred the date But I knew your hand again You wrote, "I tried to wait for you" Like waiting made it right Now the porch is missing one old chair And the road runs out of sight [Chorus] If I could turn that gravel road around I'd bring you home before the sun went down But every mile keeps pulling us apart And your name still beats beneath my heart [Verse 2] Your blue dress hangs behind the bedroom door Though you took the rest of what you owned I hear the floorboards settle after dark In a house that isn't home I told my brother I was doing fine He didn't meet my eyes Some truths are too heavy for a barroom stool And too stubborn to disguise [Chorus] If I could turn that gravel road around I'd bring you home before the sun went down But every mile keeps pulling us apart And your name still beats beneath my heart [Bridge] Maybe love is not a promise kept Maybe it's the scar we learn to hold I gave you every honest thing I had Still watched it leave out in the cold [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] If I could turn that gravel road around I'd bring you home before the sun went down Let the old church bell ring across the yard Let me say I should have tried more hard Every mile keeps pulling us apart But your name still beats beneath my heart [Outro] Your name still beats beneath my heart Long after the engine starts
