The well's gone dry, the land is cracked and spent

The bank man came and took the last red cent

That dust you see ain't weather, it's the shame

Burnin' the ghost of my own name

Yeah...

So I'm leavin' this valley of rust and bones

Where every hope you plant just turns to stones

I hear that empty whistle, long and low

Callin' me where the forgotten go

Yeah, I'm breakin' free

They sold the church to make a saloon floor

The only law left is behind a barroom door

My shadow's all I own that they can't claim

A debt you can't collect, a silent blame

Yeah...

So I'm leavin' this valley of rust and bones

Where every hope you plant just turns to stones

I hear that empty whistle, long and low

Callin' me where the forgotten go

Yeah, I'm breakin' free

Ain't no angel gonna mark this trail

Just the sun, a jackal, and the wind's wail

The past can't chain what's got no home to keep

Just the rhythm of the rails, and a debt of sleep

I'm leavin'...

this valley...

Of rust...

and bones...

Where every hope.just turns... to stones...

I hear that whistle...

God, it's low...

Callin' me where...

the forgotten... go...

Yeah, I'm... gone.
