Moonlight on My Timberland
[Intro] Late bus stop Hood up, eyes red Moonlight on my Timberland You in my head (yeah) [Verse 1] Fast lane heart, but I’m stuck at the curb You said forever, then you left with a word Threw my coat on your chair, now it hangs like a ghost Got your name on my tongue, burnin’ more than the toast Grandma’s porch talk, said to pray when it hurts Now I’m talkin’ to the sky through my favorite shirt Pocket full of pay stubs, still feel broke Every little laugh we had, caught up in my throat (uh) [Chorus] Moonlight on my Timberland, dirt on my dreams You were singin’ in the kitchen, now it’s quiet, just me I keep dancin’ in the gravel, tryin’ to shake off your name But it follows like a stray dog, runnin’ straight to my pain Moonlight on my Timberland, shine on this road I’m half hood, half country, tryna carry this load If you hear me in the distance, girl, I’m callin’ you home But I’m singin’ to the night like I’m already alone (oh) [Verse 2] Yeah, fast talk, fast walk, I was buildin’ a throne You were barefoot on the back seat, callin’ it home We were ketchup on fries, sweet tea on ice You were Sunday in July, I was Friday night fights Now I’m speed-text scrollin’, no reply on the screen Just a crack on the glass and a hole in my jeans My sister said, “Breathe, girl, let the river just run” But the creek’s dried up where we carved ‘us’ in the mud (yeah) [Chorus] Moonlight on my Timberland, dirt on my dreams You were singin’ in the kitchen, now it’s quiet, just me I keep dancin’ in the gravel, tryin’ to shake off your name But it follows like a stray dog, runnin’ straight to my pain Moonlight on my Timberland, shine on this road I’m half hood, half country, tryna carry this load If you hear me in the distance, boy, I’m callin’ you home But I’m singin’ to the night like I’m already alone (already alone) [Bridge] [Beat drops to guitar and vocal] Front porch light on, but you don’t come back I’m hummin’ our song to the railroad track If hurt is a highway, I’m past that sign Yet every little mile, you’re still on my mind (on my mind) [Chorus] Moonlight on my Timberland, dirt on my dreams You were singin’ in the kitchen, now it’s quiet, just me I keep dancin’ in the gravel, tryin’ to shake off your name But it follows like a stray dog, runnin’ straight to my pain Moonlight on my Timberland, leave me or stay Either light up my tomorrow or just fade away If you hear me in the distance, I’m lettin’ you go As I’m singin’ to the night, watch me walk this road slow (hey)
