Marble & Smokeā
(Verse 1)
Carvinā marble headstones in the red clay dirt
Chisel singinā low like a gospel hurt
Dust on my boots, whiskey on my breath
Make my livinā handinā names over to death
Moonlight drippinā off a rusted tin roof
Crickets keep time like they know the truth
Every line I carve, every name I trace
Feels like Iām digginā my own damn grave
(Chorus)
I been smokinā in the shadows, tryinā to outrun ghosts
White lines on a mirror, but they linger the most
Lord, I know Iām dancinā with the edge of my soul
In a backroad town where the nights take control
Yeah, Iām lost in the pine, where the blackbirds moan
Carvinā marble headstones⦠just to feel less alone
(Verse 2)
Mama said, āBoy, donāt you play with sinā
But the devil wore a smile and he pulled me in
Now the jukebox cries in a neon haze
And I trade my peace for a couple more days
Got a pocket full of nothinā, but a head full of noise
All them bad decisions dressed up as joys
Every sunrise burns like a truth I dodge
Tryna pray it out, but I curse at God
(Chorus)
Yeah, Iām smokinā in the shadows, tryinā to outrun ghosts
White lines on a mirror, but they linger the most
Lord, I know Iām dancinā with the edge of my soul
In a backroad town where the nights take control
Yeah, Iām lost in the pine, where the blackbirds moan
Carvinā marble headstones⦠just to feel less alone
(Bridge)
If I lay down tonight, will I wake up clean?
Or just fade to black in a bad manās dream?
All this dust and sin got a hold on me tight
Like a preacherās fire in the dead of night
(Final Chorus)
Still smokinā in the shadows, but Iām losinā breath
Every step I take got me closer to death
Lord, if youāre listeninā, donāt forget my name
Iāve been playinā your game, but I aināt the same
Hear the hammer ring through the cold gravestone
Carvinā marble headstonesā¦
Hopinā one aināt my own
