Dusty Boots and Empty Rooms

Verse 1

Empty

Dusty boots

Sitting on the porch

Waiting for a sound that never comes

The mailbox door hangs heavy on its hinge

Rusty wire

Tangled up in tall grass

Where we used to walk when the sun went low

Chorus

But you're gone to San Antone

Yeah you're gone

Long gone

Down a road I can't follow

Down a road I don't know

Just a memory in a denim jacket

Just a ghost in a summer dress

You're gone

You're gone

Verse 2

Sold the horse

Cattle's thin

The creek ran dry back in July

Fences need a mend I can't provide

Hard luck

Hard rain

Harder heart

Everything I built is falling down

I lost the keys to the heavy front door

Chorus

But you're gone to San Antone

Yeah you're gone

Long gone

Down a road I can't follow

Down a road I don't know

Just a memory in a denim jacket

Just a ghost in a summer dress

You're gone

You're gone

Bridge

Maybe I'll find you

Maybe I'll forget

Maybe I'll just sit here and watch the sky

Watch the moon

Watch the clouds

Watching for a sign that isn't coming back

Chorus

But you're gone to San Antone

Yeah you're gone

Long gone

Down a road I can't follow

Down a road I don't know

Just a memory in a denim jacket

Just a ghost in a summer dress

You're gone

You're gone

Outro

Dust on the dashboard

Radio low

Gone

Gone

San Antone

Texas is too big tonight
