Verse 1
There’s a gravel road behind this town
Where the pines lean low and the sun goes down
I drive that old truck past the county line
Tryin’ to outrun what’s on my mind
Your name still hangs like smoke in the air
In every backroad prayer I swear
And these hands keep holdin’ onto ghosts
When the night gets quiet the hurt comes close
Chorus
And when the shadows come to call
And I am small and I fall
My body sings a different song
Of how to make me right or wrong
Like a whiskey burn, like a worn-out hymn
Like the ache beneath my skin
I keep searchin’ for where I belong
While my body sings that different song
Verse 2
Mama said son don’t fight the rain
Some storms wash clean, some leave stains
Daddy said hearts are made to bruise
That’s the price of love and truth
So I sit alone by the railroad tracks
Countin’ all the things I can’t take back
With the moonlight layin’ on this town
Like heaven tryin’ to calm me down
Chorus
And when the shadows come to call
And I am small and I fall
My body sings a different song
Of how to make me right or wrong
Like an old steel string cryin’ blue
Like a memory I can’t lose
I keep holdin’ on too long
While my body sings that different song
Bridge
Maybe broken ain’t the same as gone
Maybe lonely makes a man grow strong
Maybe every scar’s just proof
That we survived the hard truth
Final Chorus
And when the shadows come to call
And I am small and I fall
My body sings a different song
Of how to make me right or wrong
So I’ll let the midnight river run
Till forgiveness finds what I’ve become
And somewhere past the hurt I’ve known
That different song will lead me home.
