[Intro, Instrumental, BPM 67] [Verse 1] Six hundred miles and the fire's still lit, Same faces, same songs, same place where I sit. She says stay and she says it so soft, Like a hand on my shoulder, like she's already lost. [Chorus] Six hundred miles and I still hear the wire, Still smell the rain on the wrong side of the fire. You can hold me tonight and you can hold me till dawn, But the road runs both ways, and by morning I'm gone. [Verse 2] He called you in April. You never told me that. Asked you how a man disappears and never comes back. You told him to come home. He said soon, maybe soon. And you let it go, and so did I, and so others did. [Bridge] Don't you dare say his name like it's yours. You buried him easy. You buried him fast. You said the road takes people You shrugged and moved on — Well, the road didn't take him. Somebody did. [Outro] By morning... I'm gone. By morning... I'm gone. Don't wait up.
