(oooooooo) (oooo)
(yeeeeah) (noise making)
Searchin' for what makes a heart go wild
But her feelings, they roam like a vagabond child
What makes her long for the things unknown
When he's here with a love so fully grown
Along this lonely, star-crossed trail
All he wants is that second chance
Along this lonely, star-crossed trail
All he wants is that second chance
[Verse 1]
'Neath the endless skies, he rides alone
Searching for a place to call his own
But the stars, they don't shine quite the same
Cause the girl he loves, she don't feel the same
And gazed upon that lonesome trail
Felt the dust beneath his boots, yeah
[Verse 2]
Now, swirlin' storms of crimson sand
Crash through his heart, a foreign land
Slippin' past the life he once had claimed
Strugglin' with the ghosts inside
And when the storms do clear, he'll see
The battle with his soul
And when the silence speaks, it tells
A tale of takin' hold
Bridge:
With each thundering heartbeat, echoes her name (yeah)
In the tavern of sorrow, he plays love's lonely game
[Verse 3]
He's got a six-string love, wails under moonlit sky
Plays the chords of his yearning, with an aching inside
In the flicker of campfire, shadows dance ‘round
In the echo of the howlin' wind, her whispers twirl and spin
So he pours another whiskey, numb the fire burning in
Every note's a piece of her, a story left untold
And he sings to the stars, his blues as raw as they're bold
[Chorus]
Cause on this lonesome prairie road, it's love that he's fightin' for
His heart keeps on beating, but it's her he's playing for
He rides through the canyon, under the devil's glare
Whiskey breath and tears- fill the dusty air,
Each mile a memory, that he can't escape,
a haunted melody, and love's dirty fate
[fade out]
On this rugged desert plain, his spirit won't ignore
The echoes of a love, it's the ghost he's riding for
[whisper]
