Pushed my 92 Chevy to the limit this time Broke down at the Marvin County line They towed me to town past the company store Didn't have to look around cause I been here before She'd sneak out the house with her daddy's rye To meet a blue collar kid who knew how to lie Swimming for the moon as it crossed the lake She never had a dare I wasn't willing to take Carved a ring from a hickory knot Tied it in her hair so we wouldn't get caught She'd whisper a wish to every train going by Then sing you a hymn and the angels would cry Crawling through those back streets again Wading through what might have been Church bells lofting up from the glen And I hear her singing Feet dragging from a sleepless night Eyes burning in the morning light Looking past the ghosts that haunt this place Still doing time for stealing Grace Streets a little more empty than they were before Bars on the window of the hardware store Saw Frankie clock out at the five and dime His eyes lit up but I just walked on by Through the sidewalks flooded with doubt Stepped up on the porch that the neighbor pointed out Looking through the glass at the bottles on the floor While my hand refused to knock on the door Crawling through those back streets again Wading through what might have been Church bells lofting up from the glen And I hear her singing Feet dragging from a sleepless night Eyes burning in the morning light Looking past the ghosts that haunt this place Still doing time for stealing Grace The cops caught us sleeping on the bridge one night Locked us in the tank cause we put up a fight That night I dreamed I could fly like a bird Her daddy picked us up but he didn't say a word Close my eyes and I see her face How do memories so thick leave an empty space Wave at the smoke but I just can't see Did I do it for her or did I do it for me Crawling through those back streets again Wading through what might have been Church bells lofting up from the glen And I hear her singing Feet dragging from a sleepless night Eyes burning in the morning light Looking past the ghosts that haunt this place Still doing time for stealing Grace Card maxed out and I'm back on the road The farther I get the lesser the load Drove out of town past the company store Didn't bother looking back cause I been here before
