歌詞

[Intro]
[Verse]
Passed the county line at ten
Driving through the used-to-been
The Bluebird Diner’s paint is thin
Where my life began to spin
I saw my shadow in the glass
Watching all the ghosts pass
I used to pour the coffee hot
In a town the world forgot
[Pre-Chorus]
Chipped ceramic on the shelf
I see a version of myself
Learning how to hold the heat
Standing on my own two feet
[Chorus]
It’s in the gravel and the dust
The iron and the rust
Three states away I’m still her girl
In a wide and heavy world
She taught me how to stay
When the sky was turning gray
Yeah I’m carrying the home
Everywhere I choose to roam
[Post-Chorus]
Home is a heavy thing
Hear the wind chimes sing
[Verse]
Grandma’s porch is quiet now
I remember when and how
She’d snap the beans and pray
To get through one more day
Her work boots by the door
Don’t need them anymore
But I’ve got the same stride
With nothing left to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
Wind chimes on the screen
Singing things I’ve never seen
About the time we didn't save
And the grit that she gave
[Chorus]
It’s in the gravel and the dust
The iron and the rust
Three states away I’m still her girl
In a wide and heavy world
She taught me how to stay
When the sky was turning gray
Yeah I’m carrying the home
Everywhere I choose to roam
[Bridge]
The highway is a long road
To carry such a heavy load
But I’m grateful for the weight
It’s what makes a person great
The grit beneath the skin
Is where the heart begins
[Solo]
[Verse]
I’ll head back north tonight
Underneath the dashboard light
But I’m taking every word
The quietest I’ve heard
The way she handled pain
Like flowers in the rain
I’ll pass it to my own
In a house of wood and stone
[Chorus]
It’s in the gravel and the dust
The iron and the rust
Three states away I’m still her girl
In a wide and heavy world
She taught me how to stay
When the sky was turning gray
Yeah I’m carrying the home
Everywhere I choose to roam
[Outro]
