歌词
[Intro] [Verse] Twelve years of iron and grease Left my soul without much peace Trading red dirt for the black gold Feeling every year of getting old Now the highway ends where I began Just a tired and dusty man [Pre-Chorus] The air smells like rain on the dry ground Silence is the only lonesome sound Until I see that neon sign flickering blue Leading me straight back to you [Chorus] And that screen door creaks like a song I know In the warm copper light of the mesquite glow You’re behind the counter pouring sweet tea Looking like the better half of me No more running, no more miles to go Just a slow steady burn in the afterglow [Post-Chorus] Slow and steady Yeah, I’m finally ready [Verse] The bell chimed when I stepped inside Nowhere left for a ghost to hide You didn’t blink, you just wore a grin Like you knew exactly where I’d been “Coffee’s hot,” was all you had to say Washing twelve long years away [Pre-Chorus] The salt shaker’s in the same old spot Everything I missed, everything I got I see the light dancing in your eyes Underneath these heavy Texas skies [Chorus] And that screen door creaks like a song I know In the warm copper light of the mesquite glow You’re behind the counter pouring sweet tea Looking like the better half of me No more running, no more miles to go Just a slow steady burn in the afterglow [Bridge] I chased a dollar through a desert haze Lost my rhythm in the drilling days But the harmonica is humming low Telling me it’s time to let it go We’ll take the mornings one by one Working till the day is done [Verse] I’ll fix that gate by the northern line If you’ll say that you’re still mine The oil rigs are a fading dream Like a pebble in a shallow stream Regrets are heavy but the heart is light Sleeping in a house that feels just right Watching sunsets turn to silver stars Softly healing all these jagged scars [Chorus] And that screen door creaks like a song I know In the warm copper light of the mesquite glow You’re behind the counter pouring sweet tea Looking like the better half of me No more running, no more miles to go Just a slow steady burn in the afterglow [Post-Chorus] Slow and steady Yeah, I’m finally ready To watch the dust settle down In this sleepy little town [Outro]
