The Weight Behind My Name (Alt 1)

I carved my name in rusty railcars, On long nights when the storms blew wild. Thought the wind would carry mercy, Thought the past would pass me by.

But every mile I try to outrun Drags the truth along with me…

There’s a weight behind my name, Like a hammer made of years. Every memory hits harder Than the ones that disappeared. I ain’t broken, I ain’t bleeding — But I’ve bent beneath the blame. Yeah, there’s a weight behind my name… And it knows me just the same.

I've seen faces in the firelight, Heard forgiveness in the rain. But the road don’t grant redemption, It just echoes what remains.

Every shadow that I bury Leaves a mark that don’t stay gone…

There’s a weight behind my name, And it follows where I ride. Every story I’ve been running from Still whispers at my side. I ain’t holy, I ain’t hunted — But I carry what I made. Yeah, there’s a weight behind my name… And it never fades away.

Ohh… Some names burn brighter wounded… Ohh… Some truths stay undisputed…

There’s a weight behind my name — And I’m learning how to carry it.
