I Never Got to Say

Intro

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

Dust on the road and the heat on my back

I left with the shadows breathing down my neck

Never got to tell you why I vanished that night

Wanted men don't get to choose what feels right

Pre-Chorus

I've outrun the past but it circles your door

And I won't let it take what I'm fighting for

The law pushed me out but the truth pulls me home

And I'm done letting fate ride these roads alone

Chorus

Chorus

I rode back to questions you were left with

Chasing truth I never got to say

Rode back through the questions you were left in

No no I ain't riding out alone

Bridge

Tracks in the sand say they're close behind

Tracks in the sand say they're close behind

Shadows stretching long across your door

I left once with the law on my spine

But I ain't leaving you no more

No more

No more

Chorus

I rode back to questions you were left with”

Chasing truth I never got to say

Rode back to questions you were left with

No no I ain't riding out alone

Outro

Gun smoke fades in the quiet of morning

And the town finally stops holding its breath

I walk to you slow hat in hand no swagger

Just a man choosing you over the road at last

Choosing you over the road at last

Chorus

I rode back to questions you were left with

Chasing truth I never got to say

Rode back through the dust you were left in

No no I ain't riding out alone

Bridge

Tracks in the sand say they're close behind

Chasing truth I never got to say

Rode back through the dust you were left in

No no I ain't riding out alone

Chorus

I rode back to questions you were left with

Chasing truth I never got to say

Rode back through the dust you were left in

No no I ain't riding out alone

Verse 3

Morning light cuts through the blinds like a blade

Your hand finds mine and the past starts to fade

Every mile I ran now just feels like a scar

That led me to the place where you already are

I don't need the horizon pulling me west

Every answer I was hunting lives here in your chest

Pre-Chorus

They can send the hounds out one more time

Let them comb the hills with their flashing signs

The man they wanted died out on that road

The one who's standing here is somebody they don't know

Chorus

I rode back to questions you were left with

Chasing truth I never got to say

Rode back through the dust you were left in

No no I ain't riding out alone

Drop

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

No no no

Verse 4

Your porch light's burning steady through the cold

A beacon I was too afraid to hold

Every piece of me that scattered on the run

Is stitching back together one by one

I was made of guilt and midnight and fear

Now I'm made of everything I found right here

Bridge

Let the sirens sing their hollow song

I'll be right here where I belong

Let the wanted posters curl and fall

Love's the only warrant I'll ever recall

The only warrant I'll ever recall

Chorus

I rode back to questions you were left with

Chasing truth I never got to say

Rode back through the dust you were left in

No no I ain't riding out alone

Outro

Gun smoke clears and the long road finally sleeps

And the quiet settles deep

I'm not running

I'm not hiding

Just breathing

You and me

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

No no no

I ain't riding out alone
