coming for you

I'm coming for you on a hard road
bearing the scars of a life grown cold
eclipsed from the heat flowing from your skin
this broken body wants to live again

I laid every stone standing in my way
and drew the lines for this black highway
looking for a sign as the miles unfold
I'm coming for you on a long hard road

I'm calling to you from miles away
with a voice so rough and slow
I'm coming for you on a hard road
I'm coming for you on a hard road
the only road I know

I'm coming for you to claim what's mine
a love that stayed or left me behind
the memory of your face is all I have to hold
I traded it all for this hard road

I'm calling to you from miles away
with a voice so rough and slow
I'm coming for you on a hard road
I'm coming for you on a hard road
the only road I know

maybe I'll read the future in your eyes
and they'll say stranger
you've believed your own lies
keep on riding
just keep on riding
but every road leads back to you

I'm calling to you from miles away
with a voice so rough and slow
I'm coming for you on a hard road
I'm coming for you on a hard road
the only road I know
