Dark Country Music | Ashes in My Rearview - Dark Country Boy
The rain falls like it's angry tonight
The road's a ghost lit by dim taillight
I left a blaze back where we stood
Burning down bridges for the greater good
Ashes in my rearview they rise and fade
Memories lost in the smoke I made
The storm can't wash away what I knew
But I'll keep driving through the ashes in my rearview
Thunder growls like a warning howl
The pedal steel cries like a lonely owl
I traded love for this endless roam
Carving my path where the wild winds moan
Ashes in my rearview they rise and fade
Memories lost in the smoke I made
The storm can't wash away what I knew
But I'll keep driving through the ashes in my rearview
Every mile stretches time like a thread
Every flame lingers like words unsaid
The storm it whispers your name to me
But I won't look back at the debris
Lightning paints the sky with ghostly streaks
The road's a preacher and the silence speaks
I let the fire claim what couldn't stay
Ashes mark the path of my getaway
