[Verse] There's a river beneath my boots It’s singing my name Whispers of the broken and the ones I can’t blame The trees are my jury The wind takes the stand I’ve been a lonesome outlaw With dirt on my hands [Verse 2] The moon’s been a nickel Flipping tails in the sky While I gambled my mornings on a whiskey-stained lie A suitcase of reasons Packed full of doubt But the latch won’t hold And the truth spills out [Chorus] That’s life in a teacup Swirling and cracked It spills on your table Leaves you looking back You can mend it with kindness or drown in its sin That’s life in a teacup Best drink it within [Verse 3] A crow wore my shadow when the dawn hit the hill He knew where to follow But his wings wouldn’t still The preacher's dog barked at my threads as I passed The good book said nothing 'bout how long this’ll last [Verse 4] A suitcase of money won’t buy you the rain And gold can’t wipe the rust from that old barn chain I once thought that love was the fruit on the vine But the seeds get lodged deep And they grow over time [Bridge] Heaven ain’t a highway But it curves just the same With stop signs in neon and a map you can’t claim I saw a vulture circle where stars used to bloom And I laughed like a drunkard in the heart of my room
