[Verse 1]
We've seen good days in the past
One too many bottle shared beneath the underpass
It glows in this town I know she loved to walk you down the tracks
She grew wild
[Pre-Chorus]
So keep my name I'm coming back
The rumors in this town never seem to last
She knew just enough to fill her lungs and tell us all:
Leave gold in the hills for islands in the Midwest
[Chorus]
Sorry I waited, in this Southern state
I was seeing double while you were running late
They were wasted, with two looks on their facе
Staring at each other, someday I'll gеt away
[Verse 2]
If I hit one more close I'll wander down these frozen roads with you
Barely high enough to see
But slow the darkness goes, and not a soul will even know if you
Were hanging next to me
[Verse 3]
She drew space between the houses
On all the faces you let in
[?] stand alone in [?] towns and broken homes
Where no one waits to see what's next
[Pre-Chorus]
It's just two roads cut in half
Dust stil coats the shades and photographs
But she was free at last of living with an epitaph
While you got old, she got fast
[Chorus]
Sorry I waited, in this Southern state
I was seeing double and you were running late
They were wasted, with two looks on their face
Staring at each other, someday I'll get away
Sorry I waited, in this Southern state
I was seeing double and you were running late
They were wasted, with two looks on their face
Staring at each other, someday I'll get away
