True Blues

Learning how the West was won

With steel-toed boots and brine

All the young blood years

That we kept in the back like wine

And all the things we’re taught, that we never adhere to

And all the things you were

They faded away so soon

It’s true blues

That you, you left me here with

And I always knew

That you were gonna burn that secret

It should’ve been left undone

A noose is just a knot

Right when I heard the news

Well, it proved that your love was bought

I’m tired of trying to smile in front of you

And all the things you were

They faded away so soon

It’s true blues

That you, you left me here with

And I always knew

That you were gonna burn that secret

Pulling in the leafless tree

Finding my way to the top

Trying to ignite the breeze

I’m trying to prepare the chop

But the more I lay with you

The harder you will fall

Lonely roaming roots

Well, they can’t be pulled at all

It’s true blues

That you, you left me here with

And I always knew

That you were gonna burn that secret

True blues

That you left me here with

And I always knew

That you were gonna burn that secret

That you were gonna burn your secret

And I think you just burned that secret
