Lyrics
Got a house on the hill, just shadows and dust,
Rooms filled with echoes of our lost trust.
Fifty reminders each month come due,
Credit cards she left, ain't nothin' new.
My pockets are empty, like the look in my eyes,
Porch swing still, no more goodbye.
She chased a dream with a man so lean,
Leavin' me with debts, scenes so obscene.
Why'd she run to a man who can't pay her way?
Left me with bills I'm too broke to pay.
Empty wallets, empty hearts,
She took the road that's tearin' us apart.
Family photos, just ghosts on the wall,
Her laughter's a memory I can barely recall.
Kids ask me questions I wish I could dodge,
Why momma left us for a broke mirage?
Nights are long, my regrets run deep,
Whiskey whispers secrets I can’t keep.
Was it my love or the gold she was after?
Chasin' false hopes, her own disaster.
Why'd she run to a man who can't pay her way?
Left me with bills I'm too broke to pay.
Empty wallets, empty hearts,
She took the road that's tearin' us apart.
Now I sit here, a bitter broken man,
Tryin' to piece together this life if I can.
But one thing haunts my lonesome nights —
Why she left me, was it worth her flights?
Empty wallets, empty hearts,
She took the road that's tearin' us apart.
Family photos, just ghosts on the wall,
Her laughter's a memory I can barely recall.
Kids ask me questions I wish I could dodge,
Why momma left us for a broke mirage?
Nights are long, my regrets run deep,
Whiskey whispers secrets I can’t keep.
Was it my love or the gold she was after?
Chasin' false hopes, her own disaster.
Why'd she run to a man who can't pay her way?
Left me with bills I'm too broke to pay.
Empty wallets, empty hearts,
She took the road that's tearin' us apart.
Now I sit here, a bitter broken man,
Tryin' to piece together this life if I can.
But one thing haunts my lonesome nights —
Why she left me, was it worth her flights?
Why'd she run to a man who can't pay her way?
Left me with bills I'm too broke to pay.
Empty wallets, empty hearts,
She took the road that's tearin' us apart.
