Some promises Run Deeper Than Pride

[Intro: Acoustic guitar arpeggio with distant fiddle]

[Verse 1]
Dust on the porch swing, hinges groan like old regrets
Mail piled up since April, screen door’s missing half its net
I hadn’t planned to come back, not after all we said
But the truck ran out of reasons just past mile marker ten

[Verse 2]
His coffee cup still waiting, cold beside the morning chair
Farming almanac open to a page he couldn’t spare
No note, no angry message—just that quiet kind of ache
The kind you carry longer than the words you couldn’t take

[Pre-Chorus]
I almost turned the key again, let silence have its say
But then I saw them by the mat—those boots he wore each day

[Chorus]
Some promises run deeper than pride
Buried in calloused hands and rusted plow lines
You don’t speak ‘em loud, you just live ‘em true
Through drought and doubt and things you can’t undo
Yeah, some promises run deeper than pride

[Inst: Fiddle solo over gentle acoustic strumming]

[Verse 3]
Found his ledger in the barn, entries neat and thin
Every dollar stretched like fence wire pulled taut against the wind
He never asked for pity, never begged me not to go
Just kept the lights on steady, in case I changed my mind to know

[Pre-Chorus]
That home ain’t just a roof beam or a name upon a sign
It’s showing up when leaving would’ve been the easier line

[Chorus]
Some promises run deeper than pride
Woven in the hush between “I’m sorry” and “I tried”
You don’t carve ‘em in stone, you plant ‘em in the ground
And wait through frozen seasons just to hear one honest sound
Yeah, some promises run deeper than pride

[Bridge]
He’s asleep in the kitchen now, head bowed over tea
I wash the cups without a word—he don’t look up at me
But his hand brushes mine reaching for the sugar spoon
And that’s the only welcome I needed under this old moon

[Chorus]
Some promises run deeper than pride
Not broken by the years or the tears we both denied
You don’t shout ‘em out, you stitch ‘em slow and tight
In every mended fence post burning soft in evening light
Yeah, some promises run deeper than pride

[Outro: Fiddle fades with single acoustic guitar notes]
(whispered)
Deeper than pride…

Me and You

A Cinematic Bluegrass Journey by AzSolo

Dust on the Blue Ridge is a storytelling album carved from the heart of the Appalachians — a journey across mountains, memory, heartbreak, forgiveness, and home. Blending warm acoustic instruments with cinematic atmosphere, AzSolo brings bluegrass into a new light: intimate, emotional, and deeply human.

Each song is a chapter in the story of a wanderer returning to the Carolina hills after years of running from pain. Along the way he confronts ghosts on old highways, unsent letters, lost love, family roots, and the mountain truths he tried to outrun.

From the gentle ache of “A Letter I Never Sent”, to the haunting echoes of “When the Train Cries Through the Valley,” to the triumphant healing of “I Found My Heart in These Hills Again,” this album captures the spirit of Appalachia through honesty and cinematic depth.

This is music for long drives, quiet nights, slow mornings, and anyone who’s ever tried to come home again — to a place, a memory, or themselves.
