"The Nail" lyrics
"The Nail"
White picket dream, porch and a swing
Coulda tacked my last name on the mailbox
Held the frames down the hall, man, I thought
Woulda been strong enough to hang my hat on
She drove it home with a cold cold word
I'm on the sharp end of the hurt
'Cause she's gone, gone, gone like the gas she's burning
I set fire to my last chance
Did her wrong, wrong, wrong, and I'm pretty damn certain
I put the chisel to the stone and the hammer in her hands
Lie by lie I let her down
And dug my grave in some heartbreak ground
She T'd up the nail in the coffin tonight
She hit it on the head when she said goodbye
Wish there was one in the road to slow her roll
Pull that Bronco over to the shoulder
All that she left was a hole in my chest
And sorries that I never told her
Yeah, she's gone, gone, gone like the gas she's burning
I set fire to my last chance
Did her wrong, wrong, wrong, and I'm pretty damn certain
I put the chisel to the stone and the hammer in her hands
Lie by lie I let her down
Dug my grave in some heartbreak ground
She T'd up the nail in the coffin tonight
She hit it on the head when she said goodbye
Last straw, she drew that line
Looking back now, even I know why
'Cause she's gone, gone, gone like the gas she's burning
I set fire to my last chance
Did her wrong, wrong, wrong, and I'm pretty damn certain
I put the chisel to the stone and the hammer in her hands
Lie by lie I let her down
Dug my grave in some heartbreak ground
She T'd up the nail in the coffin tonight
She hit it on the head when she said goodbye

Vincent Mason - "She Loves Leaving" She likes a backroad
But not like she likes a highway, no
She likes a love song
But not like she likes 'em sad and slow
She likes close till it gets too close
Pulling me in just to let me go
She...
Thomas Rhett - "Beautiful As You" Baby girl, you out your mind, you're way too good for me
Thinkin' 'bout the day we met, you could've just ignored me
Here I am, layin' next to you, lookin' extra cute in the mornin'
Lookin' back, all...
Graham Barham - "BREAK IT IN A BAR" You can do it on the beach
You can do it in during spring break in Panama
Cut me loose over dinner
Maybe do it in the winter when I'm already cold
You can drop the hammer down on a Sunday after...
Dylan Marlowe - "I'll Keep The Country" You never liked it out here anyways
So this shouldn't be too hard
To get your tires turnin' back to where you came from
So we can get a brand new start
You stay on the city side of them city limit...
Chase Matthew - "Love Like That" My luck with love ain't never been great
(Never been great)
My heart gets broken will it ever change
(Will it ever change)
Maybe I'm just made for the heartbreak
Maybe the lord has someone waiting...
