Rustbound Sway

(hummmm) Clay dust settled on the window glass

Counting miles that we never could outlast

Headlights cutting through the pine and wire

Cold river damp

meets a gutter fire

There's a heavy pull in the red red dirt

Taking all we made,

leaving all we hurt (yeah)

Let the back roads bend until they break

Take whatever's left of what we make

Heavy in the chest,

steady in the bone

Long way back to find our way back home

Fencing rusted

by the county line

Running out of highway,

out of time

Got no pride left in the gasoline

Just the quiet spaces in between

Let the back roads bend until they break

Take whatever's left of what we make

Heavy in the chest,

steady in the bone

Long way back to find our way back home

(way back home)

Just a long way back (steady in the bone)

Way back home
