Lonely Bones Lyrics by Mark McKinney

Standing My Ground

0

Tryin' to put away this shadowed mind
You know a bleedin' heart leaves a trail behind
Sometimes you forget you can even hurt
'Til the love you thought you had’s straight into the dirt
I went up to Fort Worth to get away
From a small town girl with a pretty face
But you can't hide from the heartbreak hounds
Once they catch your scent they'll hunt you down
I'm gonna sit right here and drink whiskey 'til I'm gone
And try to figure out what the hell went wrong
I'm gonna sit right here and make the jukebox play sad songs
'Cause I think I need one more night of bein' alone
Someone rattle these lonely bones
I got pretty ripped down in San Antone
With some Texas-Mexican shootin' patron
Tried to burn a hole straight through my mind
Tried to put these feelings where the sun don't shine
I started to fade on 35
So I stopped in south Austin just to stay alive
I found my way over to the Broken Spoke
I said, "Honey keep 'em comin' until I'm broke."
I'm gonna sit right here and drink whiskey 'til I'm gone
And try to figure out what the hell went wrong
I'm gonna sit right here and make the jukebox play sad songs
'Cause I think I need one more night of bein' alone
Someone rattle these lonely bones
Tell me why
Is it so hard
Is it so hard
To let go
Just tell me why
Is it so hard
Is it so hard
To let go
I'm gonna sit right here and drink whiskey till I'm gone
And try to figure out what the hell went wrong
I'm gonna sit right here and make the jukebox play sad songs
Because I think I need one more night of being alone
Someone rattle these lonely bones
