mmm c'monn back...! WES COLE [Verse 1] There’s a bend in the road where the mountains breathe Where the wind tells stories to the old oak trees Sun goes down like a slow goodbye Paints them ridges in fire and sky I been runnin’ hard, I been livin’ fast Tryin’ to outrun the weight of the past But this valley knows how to slow me down The Cove feels like holy ground [Pre-Chorus] Ain’t no rush in this kind of place You learn to sit with your own mistakes [Chorus] In The Cove I lay my burdens low Let the creek wash clean what I don’t wanna hold If I ever get lost in this world too loud I come back here just to breathe it out Where the hills stay still and the heart finds home Yeah, The Cove is where my soul gets whole [Verse 2] Cabin smoke in the evening air Sound of a screen door, somebody’s prayer Boots by the fire, guitar on the wall Every scar’s welcome, every rise and fall I ain’t got much but I got my name And a quiet spot to shoulder the pain These rocks and trees don’t judge my load They just let me be who I am alone [Pre-Chorus] World keeps tellin’ me who to be But this land just lets me breathe [Chorus] In MacLemore Cove I lay my burdens low Let the creek wash clean what I don’t wanna hold If I ever get lost in this world too loud I come back here just to breathe it out Where the hills stay still and the heart finds home Yeah, MacLemore Cove is where my soul gets whole [Bridge] If I die young or I die old Bury my bones where the wild winds blow Let the mountains sing me to sleep Under that Tennessee sky so deep [Break – TikTok Moment (spoken/sung)] “This world gets heavy… But this place don’t.” [Final Chorus] In The Cove I lay my burdens low Let the creek wash clean what I don’t wanna hold When the road gets dark and I can’t see hope I remember this is where I go Where the hills stay still and the heart finds home Yeah, The Cove is where my soul gets whole [Outro] Yeah, Mac Lemore Cove… You always bring me back to me
