[Verse 1] The sun lean low on the levee line Long gold drippin' off the pines I got a hurt that don't need words It just sits heavy and bides its time Dust on my boots, ache in my chest Mama said, son, you do your best But the road keep cuttin' through my bone And I been walkin' this one alone [Pre-Chorus] I try to breathe it out Try to shake it loose But the night keeps comin' on Like it knows the truth [Chorus] Deep, deep heartache (Deep, deep heartache) Runs down to the roots It don't let go It don't let go Deep, deep heartache (Deep, deep heartache) I wear it like the blues At sunset slow At sunset slow [Verse 2] Your name still lives in the kitchen screen On that chipped-up tile where the coffee's seen I pass by and the whole room bends Like a door I can't close again The screen door slaps with the evening wind Same old ache comin' back again I tell myself this old pain fades But it knows my hands, it knows my ways [Pre-Chorus] I put my faith in the fading light Let it wash over me But every shadow in the yard Still speaks your memory [Chorus] Deep, deep heartache (Deep, deep heartache) Runs down to the roots It don't let go It don't let go Deep, deep heartache (Deep, deep heartache) I wear it like the blues At sunset slow At sunset slow [Bridge] If I could leave it by the river bank Let that water take the weight I'd stand here bare, let the whole thing pass But my heart don't heal that way So I sing this hurt into the dark Till the stars come out one by one And if my voice cracks wide open now That's just where the sorrow lives on [Chorus] Deep, deep heartache (Deep, deep heartache) Runs down to the roots It don't let go It don't let go Deep, deep heartache (Deep, deep heartache) I wear it like the blues At sunset slow At sunset slow
