A Balm

I'm gonna face my fears

Run my demons like steer

Laso em and tie them off

I'm gunning down empty bottles

Heavy boot, feather throttle

Let it off now smoking tires

Bridge burning days retired

Guess I tired of lonely travels

Heart of stones must unravel

That's the rivers blessing, curse

That's the pain between the verse

All roads lead us to the hearse

Don't matter if it's gravel, dirt or dust

We all have a path ahead of us

It's all or bust feel it in my gut

We won't make it out with unharmed

Hearts, that's okay cause I heard

Love is a balm for all kinda scars

Factory smoke choking hope

Tractors covered in tarps and dust

Pa says this year is all or bust

Ma says Faith means in God we trust

Light pollution kills night delusions

Wishing on shooting stars

Throwing ropes for the moon

Stowing pain in my bones

Threatens to undo me soon

But I stay glued, I cowboy up

What else to do? Bottoms up

Here's to the ride, before the fight

For the folks no longer by our side

Don't matter if it's gravel, dirt or dust

We all have a path ahead of us

It's all or bust feel it in my gut

We won't make it out with unharmed

Hearts, that's okay cause I heard

Love is a balm for all kinda scars

When I go, hope I go blazing

That's the rock n' roll in my stars

Flippant thumbing of my pages

These days I go slow, ease and grace

Lightening in my whiskey

Thunder in my engine

Love the way that reckless taste

At least in the beginning

These days it's pump the brakes

Cut back on the sinnen

Don't matter if it's gravel, dirt or dust

We all have a path ahead of us

It's all or bust feel it in my gut

We won't make it out with unharmed

Hearts, that's okay cause I heard

Love is a balm for all kinda scars
