Left Laredo with the sun in my eyes, broken heart and a bloodshot sky
Been running since she left me alone, way up north in San Antone
Days get long but I don't get far, spent last night in some low life bar
Found her memory in some Mezcal haze, lost my mind while the guitar plays
CHORUS: I'm gonna carry this burden way out west
Find a way to lay this hurt to rest
Live it up 'till I live her down
Left her standing in a tear-stained dress, cursed the day that I confessed
Wayward sins of a mortal man, watched the ring come off her hand
Looking back on all I've lost, price I've paid ain't worth the cost
I'll run this road until it ends and maybe find my way back to her again
CHORUS: I'm gonna carry this burden way out west
Find a way to lay this hurt to rest
Live it up 'till I live her down
CHORUS: I'm gonna carry this burden way out west
Find a way to lay this hurt to rest
Live it up 'till I live her down
