that is a very beautiful and moving song, impressive lyrics and vocals and now one of my favorites

This is amazing, coming from someone who doesn’t listen to country often

Rolling Down The Highway

Midnight Bronco

Verse 1
She don’t talk much ‘bout the days gone wrong,
But her hands start trembling’ when she picks a song.
That old Gibson’s cracked, but it still holds tight,
Like her heart does most nights.

Verse 2
Her voice is a whisper, but it cuts like rain,
Every note soaked in a little pain.
A melody patched with a life lived hard,
Yeah, she’s made of strings and scars.

Chorus
Strings and scars, and a fire that won’t die,
She don’t beg mercy, she don’t ask why.
She just plays it out ‘neath the silver stars,
Yeah, her soul’s tuned up
With strings and scars.

Verse 3
She’s been loved and left, lost and found,
Built her peace from broken sound.
She sings for the souls with old battle scars,
They all carry strings and scars.
Chorus
Strings and scars, and a fire that won’t die,
She don’t beg mercy, she don’t ask why.
She just plays it out ‘neath the silver stars,
Yeah, her soul’s tuned up
With strings and scars.

Bridge
No spotlight needed, no stage too small,
Just six strings singing’ down a barroom wall.
And when she’s gone, they’ll still hear her heart,
In the hum of those strings and scars…

Final Chorus
Strings and scars, and a fire that won’t fade,
A life she lived in the chords she played.
She just played it out ‘neath the silver stars,
Yeah, heaven knows her name—
Strings and scars.--------   please love her one-day she will be gone 

Strings and scars,

                   Verse 1 I keep a notebook by my bed With half-crossed lines and things I should’ve said I keep it hidden just for me There’s things I wouldn’t want the world to see The words I’ve written Chorus A love letter to Victoria The secret that I couldn’t keep It’s all hiding in the pages You know that ink runs deep There’s no way I can explain it oh that ink runs deep and Victoria she runs deep Verse 2 It’s nothing perfect, it’s nothing planned Just the way I try to understand It’s messy and magic, it’s barely in line But it’s all mine, it’s all mine, it’s all mine Lyrics in margins and coffee-stained tries There’s a sketch of a face I don’t recognize Bridge Rip--- out the-- pages --and start again So many faces of who I am------- Verse 3 Sometimes I’m writing late at night I wake up to find a side of me I’ve tried to hide So many faces of who I am--------- ............

letter to Victoria .......

Verse 1]
I heard the tide roll in this morning’
Like a whisper on the wind
She packed up her heart and memories
And hit the road again
Now she’s somewhere past Corolla
With her bare feet in the sand
I’m here stuck in Carolina clay
Wishing’ I could hold her hand

[Chorus]
She’s on the Outer Banks, chasing’ seagulls and dreams
Sun-kissed and salty, breaking’ free at the seams
I’m still holding’ on, but she’s gone with the tide
Leaving’ footprints in the shore, where the sea and heart collide
Yeah, she’s on the Outer Banks... and I’m barely getting’ by

[Verse 2]
We used to talk about forever
On back roads and porch swing nights
But sometimes love ain’t weatherproof
And storms don't end in light
She found peace in the   lighthouse
Where I only saw the rain
Now she’s watching’ sunsets
While I drown in this pain

[Chorus]
She’s on the Outer Banks, chasing’ seagulls and dreams
Sun-kissed and salty, breaking’ free at the seams
I’m still holding’ on, but she’s gone with the tide
Leaving’ footprints in the shore, where the sea and heart collide
Yeah, she’s on the Outer Banks... and I’m barely getting’ by

[Bridge]
Maybe she’ll send a postcard
Or maybe she won’t look back
But I’ll keep her in my rearview
Till my world fades to black

[Final Chorus]
She’s on the Outer Banks, where the wild horses run
A free spirit riding’ waves, soaking’ up that sun
I’m still missing’ her, in this landlocked life
While she’s out there living’, I’m just trying’ to survive
Yeah, she’s on the Outer Banks...
And I’m still wondering’ why.......................

"She's on the Outer Banks"

Country music is my best place to live
Heartland By Songwiter Edwin H. Balder

They say countrys just some dirt roads 

Just a six pack just some torn clothes 

Just a cowboy hat and a yall or two 

But let me tell you whats really true 

Countrys the work before the dawn 

Countrys a hand that helps you on 

Its the song sung soft through tears 

Its the voice that echoes years 

Its the struggle its the fight 

Its the prayer on Friday night 

Its the boots worn down to tread 

Its the words we never shed 

Country aint just country its blood and bone 

Its stories told its seeds thatre sown 

Its roots too deep to fade away 

Its the heart that knows how to stay 

Country aint just country its soul and song 

Its standing up when things go wrong 

Its real and rough its hard and bright 

Its everything that feels just right 

They say countrys just some whiskey neat 

Just a dust trail just a backseat 

Just some pickup lines and cowboy charms 

But countrys sweat countrys farms 

Its mothers strong fathers proud 

Its gospel sung in voices loud 

Its the fight to make things grow 

Its the faith to still let go 

Country aint just country its blood and bone 

Its stories told its seeds thatre sown 

Its roots too deep to fade away 

Its the heart that knows how to stay 

Country aint just country its soul and song 

Its standing up when things go wrong 

Its real and rough its hard and bright 

Its everything that feels just right 

Aint just twang aint just boots 

Aint just trucks with chrome that suits 

Its the love that never dies 

Its the truth that fills the sky 

So let em say what they wanna say 

Let em think it fades 

Heartland By Songwiter Edwin H. Balder
