Lyrics
They carved a cross but not my name, Said it’s better that way, less shame But the ground remembers where I bled, And every lie I never said
I left my name in the dirt, Let the wind spell it out in hurt No stone, no verse, no bell to ring — Just silence wearin’ my wedding ring
Her voice still curls inside the breeze, I hear it floatin’ through the mesquite trees She said “You ain't no monster, just too tired,” But hell don’t care what love inspired
I left my name in the dirt, Where mercy failed and fire worked A memory in the bloodstained sand, Still reachin’ out with a broken hand
They talk of heaven like it’s earned, But I was ashes ‘fore they burned The west don’t mourn, it just forgets — But I ain’t gone, not yet
I left my name in the dirt, Let the sky write down the worst No cross could bear the weight I wore — But I still knock on death’s old door
