[Chorus]
Painted southern skies, where your shadow used to fall
I’m staring at the colors, but I can’t feel you at all
If I’d opened up my heart, maybe you’d still be mine
Now I’m alone beneath these painted southern skies

[Verse 2]
Every evening on that tailgate, you were reaching for my hand
But I was lost inside my silence, couldn’t be the kind of man
Who would tell you what you meant, who would meet you in your eyes
Now I’m chasing every sunset like it might apologize
For the words I never spoke, for the tears you cried at night
Now I’m haunted by the truth in that last goodbye

[Bridge]
If I could turn back time, I’d let my feelings overflow
I’d tell you you were everything, never let you feel alone
Now every streak of red and gold just writes your name across the blue
I was blind to what you needed, now my world’s without you

[Outro]
Every evening on that tailgate, you were reaching for my hand
But I was lost inside my silence, couldn’t be the kind of man
Who would tell you what you meant, who would meet you in your eyes
Now I’m chasing every sunset like it might apologize
For the words I never spoke, for the tears you cried at night
Now I’m haunted by the truth in that last goodbye

[Verse 1] This is a song about a man who misses his girl who left him And how sorry he was for being emotionally unavailable And not seeing it, and how he misses all those sunsets And painted southern skies that they shared together often And how he wished she would just come home, just come home This song is called "Painted Southern Skies" [Chorus] Painted southern skies, where your shadow used to fall I’m staring at the colors, but I can’t feel you at all If I’d opened up my heart, maybe you’d still be mine Now I’m alone beneath these painted southern skies [Verse 2] Every evening on that tailgate, you were reaching for my hand But I was lost inside my silence, couldn’t be the kind of man Who would tell you what you meant, who would meet you in your eyes Now I’m chasing every sunset like it might apologize For the words I never spoke, for the tears you cried at night Now I’m haunted by the truth in that last goodbye [Chorus] Painted southern skies, where your shadow used to fall I’m staring at the colors, but I can’t feel you at all If I’d opened up my heart, maybe you’d still be mine Now I’m alone beneath these painted southern skies [Bridge] If I could turn back time, I’d let my feelings overflow I’d tell you you were everything, never let you feel alone Now every streak of red and gold just writes your name across the blue I was blind to what you needed, now my world’s without you [Chorus] Painted southern skies, where your shadow used to fall I’m staring at the colors, but I can’t feel you at all If I’d opened up my heart, maybe you’d still be mine Now I’m alone beneath these painted southern skies [Outro] Every evening on that tailgate, you were reaching for my hand But I was lost inside my silence, couldn’t be the kind of man Who would tell you what you meant, who would meet you in your eyes Now I’m chasing every sunset like it might apologize For the words I never spoke, for the tears you cried at night Now I’m haunted by the truth in that last goodbye
