But They Just Can't

"High Lonesome County Line" is the sound of a man standing on the edge of who he was and who he’s trying to be. Vince Brooks takes that gravel stretch of Oklahoma road and turns it into a confession — headlights, dust, memories that won’t quit following, and a future that never quite outruns the past.

It’s a quiet reckoning… and a truth only Vince can carry.

READ-ALONG LYRICS:

[Intro]
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
Headlights crawl across a gravel stretch,
Radio hummin’ like a memory I can’t forget.
County line sign in my high beams glowin’,
Feels like every mile knows where I’m goin’.

[Verse 2]
One side’s home where the wheat fields sway,
Other side’s the life I keep chasin’ away.
I pull over, kill the lights, let the night get still,
Wonderin’ which version of me this road wants to kill.

[Chorus]
I’m on the high lonesome county line,
Where the past and the future intertwine.
Heart’s in the dust, wheels on the tar,
Home ain’t close but it ain’t that far.
Every time I try to leave it behind,
I end up here… on the high lonesome county line.

[Verse 3]
Got a job that pays, but it drains me thin,
Sellin’ iron to the men I grew up knowin’ back then.
Sometimes their stories sound just like mine,
Different names, same damn bind.

[Chorus]
I’m on the high lonesome county line,
Where the past and the future intertwine.
Heart’s in the dust, wheels on the tar,
Home ain’t close but it ain’t that far.
Every time I try to leave it behind,
I end up here… on the high lonesome county line.

[Bridge]
Maybe life ain’t meant to be outrun,
Maybe every man circles back where he begun.
And maybe the boy I used to be
Ain’t gone, he’s just waitin’ right here on the edge of me.

[Final Chorus]
I’m on the high lonesome county line,
Where the old and the new both tug on my spine.
Dreams in the cab, roots in the ground,
Livin’ between lost and found.
I can roam these roads till the end of time,
But I’ll always drift… to the high lonesome county line.

[Outro]
[Instrumental Break – slow fade]
