[Verse 1] Faded photos on the mantel In my album In my hand In my wallet On these cracked old walls Like they’re part of the land Every frame’s a little movie Of your boots on my front porch Now they watch me kill the quiet With this beat-up piece of torch [Chorus] So I’m writing a face-melting guitar solo For a heart that’s running hot and riding low Every bend’s the way you left me Every slide’s you letting go Yeah I’m carving out one last goodbye in steel Let it scream what I can’t say or ever show I’m writing a face-melting guitar solo For a love you’ll never know I’m writing a face-melting guitar solo For the place where all our wasted wishes go Every bend’s that rainy evening Every slide’s your shadow’s glow Yeah I’m carving out one last goodbye in steel Let it cry from every stage I ever show I’m writing a face-melting guitar solo When you’re not around no more [Verse 2] Rain tapping on the window Like it’s knocking to come in This is where we used to meet up Same old bar Same old sin Jukebox spins that slow song I can feel your hand in mine I’m dancing with you for the last time And you ain’t here this time [Chorus] ‘So I’m writing a face-melting guitar solo For a heart that’s running hot and riding low Every bend’s the way you left me Every slide’s you letting go Yeah I’m carving out one last goodbye in steel Let it scream what I can’t say or ever show I’m writing a face-melting guitar solo For a love you’ll never know I’m writing a face-melting guitar solo For the place where all our wasted wishes go Every bend’s that rainy evening Every slide’s your shadow’s glow Yeah I’m carving out one last goodbye in steel Let it cry from every stage I ever show I’m writing a face-melting guitar solo When you’re not around no more [Bridge] All these memories in the margins Coffee stains and torn-off dates You’re the ghost in every snapshot I’m the fool who still just waits So I turn it up to thunder (hey!) Let the neighbors hear the truth If you ever feel that shiver That’s the sound of losing you [Chorus] So I’m writing a face-melting guitar solo For a heart that’s running hot and riding low Every bend’s the way you left me Every slide’s you letting go Yeah I’m carving out one last goodbye in steel Let it scream what I can’t say or ever show I’m writing a face-melting guitar solo For a love you’ll never know I’m writing a face-melting guitar solo For the place where all our wasted wishes go Every bend’s that rainy evening Every slide’s your shadow’s glow Yeah I’m carving out one last goodbye in steel Let it cry from every stage I ever show I’m writing a face-melting guitar solo When you’re not around no more
