This Country's Gone Cold

Intro

Yeah, sittin' on this porch swing... creakin' in the wind

Verse

Remember them hot August nights, fireflies dancin' low

Tailgate down, your hand in mine, radio playin' slow

We'd laugh 'til the moon hung high, whiskey burnin' sweet

Now the bottle's half empty, and these boots feel like concrete

Chorus

This country's gone cold, yeah, gone cold without you

Bonfire's just ashes, and the mornin' dew cuts through

Pickup's in the drive, but it won't start no more

Heart's froze over solid, like a gravel road in January's war

Gone cold, baby, gone cold

This country's gone cold

Verse

Dirt road memories, mud on our jeans from the rain

You'd holler my name, pull me close through the pain

Small town Friday lights, dancin' in the barn

Now the jukebox is silent, and I'm holdin' on forlorn

Chorus

This country's gone cold, yeah, gone cold without you

Bonfire's just ashes, and the mornin' dew cuts through

Pickup's in the drive, but it won't start no more

Heart's froze over solid, like a gravel road in January's war

Gone cold, baby, gone cold (gone cold)

This country's gone cold

Bridge

I crank up that old George Jones, try to thaw this ache

But the words just hang heavy, like winter's first snowflake

Oh, darlin', come back... light this fire again

'Fore the frost takes the last of what we had back then

Chorus

This country's gone cold, yeah, gone cold without you

Bonfire's just ashes, and the mornin' dew cuts through

Pickup's in the drive, but it won't start no more

Heart's froze over solid, like a gravel road in January's war

Gone cold, baby, gone cold

Gone cold, yeah, gone cold

This country's gone cold

Outro

Gone cold... (gone cold)

Yeah, this country's gone cold
