Every road I take, it’s a freight train bound
With the echoes of my heart takin' me down
Through the delta dreams where the shadows creep
I’m searchin’ for the comfort, but I’m lost in my sleep
These tears fall silent, like rain on the ground
The strings of my sorrow play a lonesome sound
Each note a reminder of the love I once knew
In the dust of my heart, baby, I’m still missing you
The freight of my burdens, they weigh on my soul
Every echo of laughter still haunts me whole
The delta winds whisper, callin’ out your name
While I’m trapped in this rhythm of heartache and pain
These tears feel like rivers, they’re runnin' so deep
The strings of my memories, they haunt my dreams steep
You were the melody that danced in my mind
Now I’m just a weary man, with love left behind
As the night softly fades and the dawn breaks anew
I’ll carry this longing, but I’ll learn to get through
For every tear I’ve shed, I’ll find strength in the fight
With the dust of the past, I’ll embrace the dawn light
So I’ll strum on my guitar, let the blues take their hold
And sing to the echoes, let the tales be retold
For the freight I have traveled, it’s carved into me
In the dust of long nights, I’ll keep my heart free.
