Lyrics

[Verse]
Oh Jerrie Lynn I hear your heart it sighs
The echoes 'cross the fields under the big blue skies
This old routine it’s worn like an old dirt road
We’re spinning circles in the tales we’ve told

[Chorus]
But every yesterday feels like a tethered chain
And every smile a shadow drawn up through the pain
We paint the world so bright to hide the wear beneath
Oh Jerrie Lynn this act is a thin belief

[Verse 2]
I see the dust it settles where dreams used to land
Your tired voice is shaking when you touch my hand
We dance the steps we’ve known like a somber prayer
But darling every turn becomes just thin despair

[Chorus]
But every yesterday feels like a tethered chain
And every smile a shadow drawn up through the pain
We paint the world so bright to hide the wear beneath
Oh Jerrie Lynn this act is a thin belief

[Bridge]
The river calls my name it whispers let me through
It echoes off the hills alongside skies so blue
I can’t keep acting out each day the same refrain
It’s time for something new to pull me from the plain

[Chorus]
Cause every yesterday feels like a tethered chain
And every smile a shadow drawn up through the pain
We paint the world so bright to hide the wear beneath
Oh Jerrie Lynn this act is a thin belief
