Kingston Pike

What do you do when the sky falls apart?

When the whole damn thing goes crumbling

Strips your body for its parts

When the Fates slip with their scissors

Making liars out of the stars

What do you do when the sky falls apart?

What do you say to make it through the night?

To remember how to breathe again

When you fall from such a height

Yeah I’m going home to Nashville

Headed west on Kingston Pike

What do you say to make it through the night?

Oh I tried my best

Guess it never came out right

That’s the thing about a flight risk

Yeah she’ll trade you for the sky

Oh my mind’s a mess

Too much for my crooked tongue

I’ll take my place there in her history

She’ll take hers in all my songs

How do you mend this tearing at the seams?

‘Cause loving her is still in your bones

And your muscle memory

When you turn to her on instinct

But she’s just out of your reach

How do you mend this tearing at the seams?

Oh I tried my best

Guess it never came out right

That’s the thing about a flight risk

Yeah she’ll trade you for the sky

Oh my mind’s a mess

Too much for my crooked tongue

I’ll take my place there in her history

She’ll take hers in all my songs

Maybe all the promises I ever made

Were nothing more than building up a gilded cage

Oh I tried my best

Guess it never came out right

That’s the thing about a flight risk

Yeah she’ll trade you for the sky

Oh my mind’s a mess

Too much for my crooked tongue

I’ll take my place there in her history

She’ll take hers in all my songs

How do you learn the art of letting go?

When we spent days dreaming of futures

That I’ll never get to know

I held promises like diamonds

Didn’t matter how they shone

So how do you learn the art of letting go?
