Lonestar Lullaby

Verse 1
Late night prayers in the cheap motels
No more Hallelujahs left to say
Riding shotgun with all regrets
I ran out of road again
Ain't no red eye trains to yesterday
But my lips still wear her name

Chorus:
Once we were a song
Love and war in a key of D
Carved our names into the wind
Lost each other in the should-have beens
Now that she's gone
Ghosts don't talk but sure do cry
Lingering by my side
Listening to this Lonestar Lullaby

Verse 2
Sitting in the bar with an empty pack
Staring at the embers of happy ends
Last call sure won't bring her back
Whiskey knows my name well
But it ain't gonna warm me up
Cause there is nothing colder than a soft goodbye


Chorus:
Once we were a song
Love and war in a key of D
Carved our names into the wind
Lost each other in the should-have beens
Now that she's gone
Ghosts don't talk but sure do cry
Lingering by my side
Listening to this Lonestar Lullaby

Bridge
Left a note and a full-tanked truck
Kissed me "I love you" one more time
Left me sleeping in the house of cards
She took a highway of fallen stars
She disappeared into the night
She disappeared into the night

Chorus:
Once we were a song
Love and war in a key of D
Carved our names into the wind
Lost each other in the should-have beens
Now that she's gone
Ghosts don't talk but sure do cry
Lingering by my side
Listening to this Lonestar Lullaby
