Thank you for digging deeper into the music and being part of the journey. Lyrics He’s been cursing at the furnace since a cold hit in November Talkin’ ‘bout a heat he says he can barely remember I watched him fold that roadmap, the one with the coffee and the grease Like he was plotting an escape, or just looking for some peace He’s sick of the heavy wool and the salt-rot on the Ford He’s staring at the Gulf Coast like it’s a fever he can’t afford I put my hand on his neck, but he’s already gone, I guess Trading these old mountains for a humid, salty mess. He’s heading south, I can tell by the way he’s leaning on the truck door Like he can already taste the tide and don’t want the frost no more He’s humming tunes about a coastline that I’ll never get to see Between the pines and the saltwater, he’s drifting out of reach He’s found a version of the truth that I just can’t start And every mile he gains, he’s moving further south of my heart. He left a bottle of that cheap Canadian rye on the nightstand Next to a picture of us, back when we could still stand this land There’s a silence in our bed now, wider than the interstate And he’s just another man who couldn't learn to wait. The Highway 2 is just a line leading out of this house And I’m standing here, quiet as a mouse... There’s a roar in my head that the snow can’t even drown He was born for the horizon... ...I’m just part of the frozen ground. He’s southbound and gone, and I’m north of being sane Watching those red taillights bleed out into the rain. Yeah, he’s heading south, and I can tell by the way he’s staring through the glass Like he’s already forgotten every winter that’s gonna pass He’s trading in the timber-line for a palm tree and a lie Leaving me with the mountains and a low and heavy sky He’s chasing down a truth that’s tearing us apart And every damn mile he gains, he’s further south of my heart. South of my heart... I’ll just leave the heat right where it is. I can tell... he's already gone.
