Make It Out Alive Lyrics

Like a flame burnt out on a candle with a wicker end

I can't feel your love no more my darling

Like a riverbed running dry on a sunny day

Or like that old worn paint on your car when you drove away

There's some tire tracks from last August frozen in mud

And there's a heart frozen in time that's still in love

With a girl who's all packed up and ready to drive

Into a life that ain't got shit to do with you and I

So do not tempt me

I've had one too many heartbreaks in my life

If you're gonna leave me

Won't you walk out fast so my worn ass can make it out alive

There's a train blowing steam for miles and it's heading west

Like I'm rolling down to the south and wishing you the best

I ain't giving up my life for you

I got a plane to catch and a dream I'm seeing through

So do not tempt me

I've had one too many heartbreaks in my life

If you're gonna leave me

I'll walk out fast so my worn ass can make it out alive

And I'm going back to the house on Cooper Ridge

There ain't a broken heart that Kentucky can't fix

And I'll meet my love between the hills and the hollers

And I'll pay no mind to what haunts me at night in my dreams
