Echoes and Ashes

(Verse 1) Once had a love, like a fire in the night, But it faded away, left him cold in the fight. Promises whispered, now just echoes in the wind, He traded his soul for the lies he let in. (Chorus) Sittin' by the campfire, bottle in hand, Dry whiskey burns like the dreams he can't stand. Lost in the embers, his memories too strong, A man once stood tall, now all that's left is this song. (Verse 2) Worked the land with calloused hands, But the sweat and the toil, they slipped through like sand. Dreams of a future, now shattered and torn, In the silence of night, all he feels is forlorn. (Chorus) Sittin' by the campfire, bottle in hand, Dry whiskey burns like the dreams he can't stand. Lost in the embers, his memories too strong, A man once stood tall, now all that's left is this song. (Verse 3) Friends long gone, like stars in the night, He's left alone, in the flickering light. Regrets weigh heavy, like a burden he can't bear, In the haze of the smoke, he's lost in despair. (Chorus) Sittin' by the campfire, bottle in hand, Dry whiskey burns like the dreams he can't stand. Lost in the embers, his memories too strong, A man once stood tall, now all that's left is this song. In the haze of the smoke, he's lost in despair. (Chorus) Sittin' by the campfire, bottle in hand, Dry whiskey burns like the dreams he can't stand. Lost in the embers, his memories too strong, A man once stood tall, now all that's left is this song.
