Crossroads of the Burning Sky (CDM)

[Verse 1] I was born in the dust Where the tumbleweeds roll My daddy's old pistol My mother's broke soul Learned early that life Don't owe you a thing Just heartache and whiskey And the songs that you sing [Verse 2] Met her by the river Where the cottonwood sway She wore white lace And stole my heart that day We carved our initials In that old oak tree Swore forever Just her and me [Verse 3] What the devil came ridin' on a cold black mare With promises of gold and a world out there I left her cryin' in that southern rain Chasin' empty dreams Drownin' in shame [Chorus] At the crossroads Of the burning sky Where angels weep and demons fly I sold my soul for fools gold dreams Now I'm drowning in her silent screams The price of pride, the cost of sin I'm burning, burning from within At the crossroads Where the lost souls cry I'm falling through the Burning sky [Verse 4] Years went by like a freight train at night I found success, but it never felt right Every dollar earned wasn't nailing my chest Every empty bed was a failing test Got the call one winter, she was laying there cold Cancer took her body, left her hand to hold I wasn't there when she needed me most Now I'm haunted by her [Chorus] At the crossroads Of the burning sky Where angels weep and demons fly I sold my soul for fools gold dreams Now I'm drowning in her silent screams The price of pride, the cost of sin I'm burning, burning from within At the crossroads Where the lost souls cry I'm falling through the Burning sky [Outro] At the crossroads Of the burning sky I finally learned that love don't die It just transforms It changes shape Becomes the road To our escape
