[Verse 1] I still got your coffee cup Stained ring sittin’ in the sink Moonlight in the window Makes it shine like you used to blink Boots by the back door Haven’t moved since the day you drove I talk to your old flannel Hanging there like it might answer Though [Chorus] These lonely nights in Dixie Stretch out longer than the road you chose Clock keeps draggin’ Whiskey’s missin’ Tears fall quiet on this faded robe You took the fire Left the ashes Left me singin’ to an empty phone These lonely nights in Dixie Cut deeper now I’m sleepin’ all alone (all alone) [Verse 2] Neighbors still wave slow Ask if I’m “doin’ alright” I smile Say “I’m fine” Then break down at the traffic light Your mail keeps on comin’ Like the world ain’t heard you’re gone Your name in black and white Still hits me like a Sunday song [Chorus] These lonely nights in Dixie Stretch out longer than the road you chose Clock keeps draggin’ Whiskey’s missin’ Tears fall quiet on this faded robe You took the fire Left the ashes Left me singin’ to an empty phone These lonely nights in Dixie Cut deeper now I’m sleepin’ all alone (yeah, all alone) [Bridge] I swore I’d never beg you back (never) But I still leave that porch light on Call it habit Call it hope Call it not knowin’ how to move on If your wheels ever find this dirt And your shadow hits my door You’ll find a heart you cracked wide open Still bleedin’ on this kitchen floor (oh) [Chorus] These lonely nights in Dixie Stretch out longer than the road you chose Clock keeps draggin’ Whiskey’s missin’ Tears fall quiet on this faded robe You took the fire Left the ashes Left me singin’ to an empty phone These lonely nights in Dixie Are all I got since you’ve been gone (since you’ve been gone) [Outro] So I hum your favorite chorus While the dark wind rattles the pines Just me and these lonely nights in Dixie Countin’ every mile between our lives
