Cigarette ash on my guitar Ring in my pocket and a broken heart Wishing things worked out differently But tonight I'm turning up the whiskey Sorry I'm not a Rockstar Driving in that fancy car Maybe one day you'll know You not in my heart is never so They say if you love them gotta let them go But I'm holding on to this broken rope Like a drive by trucker on the open road With these open containers whistling skynyrd solos I say things I don't mean then I apologize, it's just testosterone and the look in your eyes The thought that I may never see that look again the thought you may say let's just be friends When I think of you I don't think of friends I think of long nights and legs that I don't want to end Dream of the smile dimples and the grin that makes my knees weak that make me want to sin They say if you love them gotta let them go But I'm holding on to this broken rope Like a drive by trucker on this open road With these open containers whistling skynyrd solos Whistling whistling skynyrd solos Whistling whistling skynyrd solos If you love them Got to let them go I'm holding on Wait, don't go
Dark outlaw rock country with deep spooky male vocals
English
The song evokes feelings of longing, nostalgia, and heartache. There is a sense of regret over lost love, coupled with a struggle to let go, and a yearning for connection that permeates the lyrics.
This song would resonate well in settings such as a solo drive on a long highway, a late-night bar scene, or during moments of reflection after a breakup.
Musically, the song features classic elements of country and rock, incorporating storytelling with vivid imagery, and employing a minor key to enhance the somber mood. The use of metaphors such as 'broken rope' and references to whiskey and guitar signify a blend of raw emotion and traditional country motifs, while the mention of 'skynyrd solos' connects it with Southern rock influences.
[Verse] Dreary sky brings no light Hard days bleed into night Walkin' through the muddy trail Dreams turned stale [Verse 2] Wind cuts like a sharpened knife Through the lanes of a weary life Eyes lookin' for a sign In the endless line [Chorus] Days that blur like the rain Every drop holds our pain Cryin' out but who hears Bound by our fears [Verse 3] Empty streets where shadows grow Driftin' hearts movin' slow Lost in the foggy haze Of these endless days [Bridge] Hope's a spector in the mist Grief a lingering twist Heavy hearts draggin' on Till the hope is gone [Chorus] Days that blur like the rain Every drop holds our pain Cryin' out but who hears Bound by our fears
Verse 1 Have you ever walked through shadows in your mind, Searching for the pieces that you can't seem to find? Every echo whispers, but the words don’t stay, And every step forward feels further away. Chorus But hold on, you're stronger than you know, Even when the world feels like it’s letting go. The cracks in your heart let the light shine through, In the middle of the dark, hope’s waiting for you. Verse 2 Do you feel like a stranger in your own skin, Trapped in a battle you don’t know how to win? The road looks endless, the sky’s turned gray, But there’s a sunrise hiding behind the fray. Chorus So hold on, you're stronger than you know, Even when the world feels like it’s letting go. The cracks in your heart let the light shine through, In the middle of the dark, hope’s waiting for you. Bridge Dreams may falter, and tears may fall, But even the broken stand proud and tall. It’s okay to stumble, to feel the strain, Because every storm will lead to rain. Outro Have you ever felt alone in your dreams? Like life is tearing apart at the seams? But somewhere deep, a fire still burns, Through the ashes, your spirit returns.
Verse 1 Hey Shweetie, There’s an endless road to rediscover Oh Bud, No, there’s nothing sweeter than each other And if you hear my call, oh sweetie And if the sky comes falling down for you There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do Verse 2 Hey Shweetie, Do you still believe in one another? Oh Bud, Do you still believe in love and wonder? And if I lose it all, oh sweetie If I’m far from home Oh Bud, I’ll hear you call There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do Chorus And if the sky comes falling down for you There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do Bridge Oh-oh-oh-ohhhh Oh-oh-oh-ohhhh Oh Bud, oh sweetie I’ll be there when the road is steep Verse 3 Hey Shweetie, Do you still believe in one another? Oh Bud, No, there’s nothing sweeter than each other And if you hear my call, oh sweetie And if the sky comes falling down for you There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do
[Verse] I saw you standing in the rain Your eyes were storms you couldn't tame A lightning strike without a name Hearts ablaze no one to blame [Chorus] Drama on the wind it howls Love's a beast it never bows Tears and laughter mix somehow We’re caught in the moment now [Verse 2] Whispers soft yet razor sharp Melodies that make us harp Lost in echoes void and dark Embers drawing glowing sparks [Bridge] Secrets woven in the sky Promises that never die Underneath the moon so high We’re more than just a fleeting sigh [Chorus] Drama on the wind it howls Love's a beast it never bows Tears and laughter mix somehow We’re caught in the moment now [Verse 3] Thunder rumbles in your laugh Words unspoken pave our path We’re just shadows in a cast Living stories from the past
[Verse] In the shadows I crawl Life's a bitter brawl Dreams just fall Hearts on the wall [Verse 2] Empty streets I wander Clocks that make me ponder Is this all just a filler Life's a heartless thriller [Chorus] Screamin' into the void Truth always destroyed Hope's just a decoy In this cruel ploy [Verse 3] Lost in distant echoes Life's a twisted show No place to go Wounds always grow [Verse 4] Faith shattered in pieces Peace never increases Each day releases More pain never ceases [Chorus] Screamin' into the void Truth always destroyed Hope's just a decoy In this cruel ploy
[Verse] Two years stationed in Russia's chill Building up my defensive hill Hear the whispers cross the wire Enemies burn in the embers of my fire [Verse 2] They said they're coming with iron might But I won't flee I stand to fight Allies claim they seek my end Yet my spirit won't break or bend [Chorus] Bravery echoes through the freezing night Shadows dance in the pale moonlight Fear grips tight but I hold my ground In this war where courage is found [Bridge] Faces hardened by ceaseless war Each side hoping to settle the score Through the pain I see a spark Guiding light in the endless dark [Verse 3] Snow falls heavy masking the dread Nowhere to turn but straight ahead Cannon-fire lights up the sky Stealing hope but we must try [Chorus] Bravery echoes through the freezing night Shadows dance in the pale moonlight Fear grips tight but I hold my ground In this war where courage is found
[Verse] I'm two years into Russia no end in sight Building my defensive line tight There's some guys let's call them the allies Say they want to end my life [Chorus] But that doesn't sit with me quite right I'm scared I see their troops at night But I'll hold on with all my might A storm is coming gotta fight [Verse 2] Winter's cold but my resolve is strong In these trenches is where I belong Got a letter from home it's been so long But the war keeps dragging on [Chorus] But that doesn't sit with me quite right I'm scared I see their troops at night But I'll hold on with all my might A storm is coming gotta fight [Bridge] Friends have fallen by my side In this chaos there's nowhere to hide Yet together we’ll turn the tide For peace and freedom we've cried [Verse 3] I'm two years into Russia the end unclear But I’ll fight through pain and fear With hope and love forever near We'll see the dawn of a new year
Verse 1: The sky is burning, can't you see? A world on fire, we're breaking free The ground is shaking, time is slipping fast But we'll keep running, we’ll make it last We're racing through a dream tonight With broken hearts, we'll start to fight No way we're slowing down, we're on the edge Dancing through the chaos, we won't pledge Pre-Chorus: Take my hand, we’re flying high We're standing strong as worlds collide We won't stop, we won't fall The end of everything, we'll stand tall Chorus: This is the end of everything we know But we won’t break, we’ll let it go We’ll rise from the ashes, watch us grow The fire’s burning, feel the glow This is the end, but it's just the start We’ll fight to the finish, with all our hearts Verse 2: The storm is coming, feel the heat We're fearless now, we won’t retreat The world's collapsing, but we're not scared We’ve got the strength, we’ve always cared Through the darkness, we’re shining bright In the chaos, we’re taking flight The countdown’s ticking, but we’ve got time We’ll keep on running, we’ll be just fine Pre-Chorus: Take my hand, we’re flying high We’re standing strong as worlds collide We won’t stop, we won’t fall The end of everything, we’ll stand tall Chorus: This is the end of everything we know But we won’t break, we’ll let it go We’ll rise from the ashes, watch us grow The fire’s burning, feel the glow This is the end, but it's just the start We’ll fight to the finish, with all our hearts Bridge: No turning back, it’s do or die We're chasing dreams, we’ll touch the sky We’re the warriors of this fate Together we will conquer, we’ll create Chorus: This is the end of everything we know But we won’t break, we’ll let it go We’ll rise from the ashes, watch us grow The fire’s burning, feel the glow This is the end, but it's just the start We’ll fight to the finish, with all our hearts Outro: The end of everything… we’ll rise again In the ashes, we’ll begin The end of everything… we stand as one We’ll fight till the battle’s won

[Verse] City lights scream loud Snow falls like broken dreams Frozen streets cry out Holiday blues extreme [Verse 2] People rush no time to feel Lost in chaos no appeal Hollow laughs echo through Winter shadows melt the view [Chorus] Feel the sting of empty cheer Ice cold hearts and hazy fear Jingle bells the echoes fade In the wake of plans unmade [Verse 3] Houses shine with hollow glee Plastic joy no guarantee Winter's grip is cold and tight Silent nights that bleed to white [Bridge] Where’s the warmth where’s the soul Empty hands take their toll In the snow we've lost our way No real peace on this fray [Chorus] Feel the sting of empty cheer Ice cold hearts and hazy fear Jingle bells the echoes fade In the wake of plans unmade
[Verse] Concrete jungle hear the roar Pounding streets with heavy lore Sharp tongues clash like thunder cracks Iron hearts in wolfpack tracks [Verse 2] Rising up through grime and steel City's pulse our wounds can heal Fists of fire minds of rage Writing life on shattered page [Chorus] Stomping grounds where dreams collide Voice of power won't subside Shouting loudly through the night Bound by struggle burning bright [Verse 3] Echoed cries in midnight's call Breaking chains we rise we fall Strength in numbers voices loud Stripping dark clouds from the shroud [Verse 4] Shadowed alleys stories trace Warrior's heart no time to waste Grit and grime define the tale Victory in every fail [Chorus] Stomping grounds where dreams collide Voice of power won't subside Shouting loudly through the night Bound by struggle burning bright
