Verse 1)
There's a cold wind howling through a cracked front door
And my boots don't shine like they did before
Spent five long years on a dead-end track
Giving everything I had, now I can't get it back
I traded my youth for a pocket of dust
And a heart that's starting to rust
Chorus
So go on and take the keys to the truck
Take the last piece of my run-out luck
Leave me the scraps and the dirt on the floor
'Cause I can't feel the pain of it anymore
You dug a deep hole where my soul used to be
Look at what's standing...
There ain't much left of me
Verse 2
There's a ghost in the kitchen where you used to pour tea
Now it's just cheap whiskey keeping company with me
I hollowed myself out to keep you warm
Stood like an old oak in the middle of your storm
But the branches are broken, the roots are all dry
Too tired to fight, too numb to cry
Chorus
So go on and take the keys to the truck
Take the last piece of my run-out luck
Leave me the scraps and the dirt on the floor
'Cause I can't feel the pain of it anymore
You dug a deep hole where my soul used to be
Look at what's standing...
There ain't much left of me
Bridge
They say a man reaps exactly what he sows
But I'm standing in a field where nothing grows
Just a scarecrow watching the crows fly away
With nothing left to say
(Guitar Solo)
Chorus
So go on and take the keys to the truck
Take the last piece of my run-out luck
Leave me the scraps and the dirt on the floor
'Cause I can't feel the pain of it anymore
You dug a deep hole where my soul used to be
Look at what's standing...
There ain't much left of me
Outro
No, there ain't much left...
Just smoke in the air and a shadow on the wall.
Yeah, you took it all.
Ain't much left of me.
