Song: Lay Me Where the River Breaks
Album: Dark Country Vol.3

Lyrics:

I kissed her lips with a mouth full of lies
She saw the storm hid behind these eyes
A lover’s touch couldn’t pull me through
Now I walk with ghosts and the smell of her perfume

Lay me where the river breaks
Where the water runs cold and the memory shakes
Let her name drift down through the undertow
Lay me there, where the lost souls go

The cards were dealt on a whiskey breath
And I folded fast at the table of death
She said, “Don’t run,” but I ran like fire
Now my heart beats slow, strung on barbed wire

Lay me where the river breaks
Where the water runs cold and the memory shakes
Let her name drift down through the undertow
Lay me there, where the lost souls go

The cards were dealt on a whiskey breath
And I folded fast at the table of death
She said, “Don’t run,” but I ran like fire
Now my heart beats slow, strung on barbed wire

Lay me where the river breaks
Where the water runs cold and the memory shakes
Let her name drift down through the undertow
Lay me there, where the lost souls go
