When the County Line Bends

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your old red truck still sits by the fence With a cracked windshield and a dent that makes no sense You left your coffee cup out in the rain And that damn screen door still bangs when the wind shifts again [Pre-Chorus] I said I was done, I said I was gone But every back road keeps dragging me on [Chorus] Hell, I still miss you when the county line bends Still save your place when the whole damn town comes in I can call you a liar, say you wrecked my plans But I’d drive through the night just to hold your hand Yeah, I curse your name, then I curse myself For putting your picture back up on the shelf [Verse 2] Your sister came by with a box of your things A blue work shirt, a book, and that cheap silver ring I laughed like a fool, said, “I’m doing just fine” Then sat on the porch till the sun quit the sky [Pre-Chorus] I said I was done, I said I was strong But every damn goodbye keeps coming out wrong [Chorus] Hell, I still miss you when the county line bends Still save your place when the whole damn town comes in I can call you a liar, say you wrecked my plans But I’d drive through the night just to hold your hand Yeah, I curse your name, then I curse myself For putting your picture back up on the shelf [Bridge] Maybe we were stubborn, maybe we were young Maybe we said too much when the hard days came If you’re out there laughing at the mess I made I hope you know I’d do it all again [Final Chorus] Hell, I still miss you when the county line bends Still save your place when the whole damn town comes in I can call you a liar, say you wrecked my plans But I’d drive through the night just to hold your hand Yeah, I curse your name, then I curse myself For putting your picture back up on the shelf [Outro] That old red truck’s still parked by the fence And I still ain’t figured out what leaving meant
