歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] The gravel grinds beneath my tires Past the ghosts of mountain fires My anvil's heavy in the back Rattling on this lonesome track Twenty-two years is a long time gone To keep a memory burning on [Verse] I see the valley turning gold Stories that the ridges hold My hands are scarred and stained with rust Chasing shadows through the dust I remember how her laughter rang Back before the hammer sang [Chorus] Oh, the road is long and the iron’s cold Trading youth for stories told I’m just a farrier on the run Chasing down the setting sun Is she waiting by the gate? Or did I leave it all too late? [Verse] I passed the old general store They don't sell hope there anymore Just dusty cans and faded signs And wrinkles deep as mountain lines I checked the map one final time To see if love's a mountain climb [Chorus] Oh, the road is long and the iron’s cold Trading youth for stories told I’m just a farrier on the run Chasing down the setting sun Is she waiting by the gate? Or did I leave it all too late? [Bridge] One wrong turn in ninety-four Led me to a different door I shod the horses, walked away And lived a million miles a day But the heart don't care for miles It only wants those crooked smiles [Solo] [Chorus] Oh, the road is long and the iron’s cold Trading youth for stories told I’m just a farrier on the run Chasing down the setting sun Is she waiting by the gate? Or did I leave it all too late? [Verse] The mailbox has her maiden name But the porch light isn't quite the same A blue truck sits out in the yard Choosing words is getting hard I kill the engine, hold my breath Scared of life and bored of death The front door creaks a little wide But I’m still sitting here inside [Outro]
