00:00And the back that hurts
00:02Sweat and sun beat down my pride
00:10But it's her that keeps me alive
00:15It's come the end of this worn out line
00:20She's the finish I've got in mind
00:24When she gets home the world fades out
00:28No more noise, no fear, no doubt
00:30I'll kill the lights and lock the door
00:33Kick off my boots on that old wood floor
00:36That clock don't matter time, stand still
00:38We'll love like the night ain't real
00:42Let our hearts do what feels right
00:45Yeah, everything's alright
00:48When she gets home tonight
00:58Off the tube, that sun's still high
01:06But I ain't got peace till she's by my side
01:12She don't punch out till the clock hits five
01:17So I sit on the porch with a cold but black
01:21Got her favorite record spinning slow
01:28Something sweet with a steady flow
01:33A worn out man with a fire in his chest
01:38Waiting on the woman who loves him best
01:42When she gets home the world fades out
01:46No more noise, no fear, no doubt
01:48We'll draw the blinds and toss the bones
01:51Leave the world to get lost on its own
01:54No need for talk, no wrong or right
01:57Just her in my arms all night
02:00She's my calm, my fire, my fight
02:03And I come back to life
02:06When she gets home tonight
02:11She walks in like a southern breeze
02:17Hair tied back, wearing worn out jeans
02:22She don't say much, just takes my hand
02:27And Lord, I forget I'm a working man
02:34When she gets home, my troubles cease
02:39That woman gives my soul some peace
02:42Forget the weight, forget the grind
02:45She's the reason I still climb
02:48So let the moon rise, let the world turn slow
02:50Let our bodies tell what our heart's holding on
02:53A little love in the dim porch light
02:56That's all I need tonight
03:00She gets home tonight
03:05Yeah, I live for the moment right
03:11She gets home tonight
03:16When the sun slips low on its two-lane town
03:44And the shadows crawl as the lights go down
03:47I pull my coat tight, walk in slow
03:51To that old bar, only broken hearts know
03:54There's a booth in the back with my name carved in
03:57Where the jukebox cries and the smoke rolls thin
04:00And I sit there most nights, thinking of you
04:03With a shot of paint and a neon view
04:07If you ever loved and then lost it all
04:10You know that feeling when the teardrops fall
04:13There's a place where memories never move
04:16Where hearts break slow in a neon groove
04:20You can drown your past in a whiskey glow
04:23Watch your dreams fade soft and low
04:25Where the lonely find a light that's true
04:29Under the spell of the neon blues
04:35She left in June with a summer breeze
04:42Now it's December and my chest can't breathe
04:46Every song on the radio feels like her
04:49Like perfume, ghost, and worn out words
04:52That old bartender knows my name
04:56He don't ask much, just pours the same
04:58Says, son, we all got someone we miss
05:02Then slides me sorrow in a glass like this
05:05If you ever loved and then lost it all
05:08You know that feeling when the teardrops fall
05:12There's a place where memories never move
05:15Where hearts break slow in a neon groove
05:18You can drown your past in a whiskey glow
05:21Watch your dreams fade soft and low
05:24Where the lonely find a light that's true
05:28Under the spell of the neon blues
05:33And maybe she's out there staring too
05:38At a sky that feels the way I do
05:41But here I sit with a broken view
05:44And nothing left but the ghost of you
05:47If you've heard deep and can't let go
05:50Come find me down where the cold winds blow
05:54There's a table waiting, a silent tune
05:57A dance of shadows in a neon room
06:00We'll raise a glass to what we knew
06:03And watch our yesterdays flicker through
06:07Where the heart still aches
06:08But the world feels true
06:10Under the spell of the neon blues
06:15Yeah, I'm still here
06:21Drinking slow, missing you
06:24Under the glow
06:27Of these neon blues
06:34She came rolling in with a silver grin
06:51And a Benz that caught the moonlight then
06:53Diamond fingers, glass of red
06:56Said she came from dreams, she left for dead
06:58Her laugh was soft but her eyes were wild
07:01Like secrets held since she was a child
07:03And the boys all came like moss to flame
07:05But no one ever left the same
07:08Whispers on the wind
07:11Calling out my name
07:13Dancing through the dark
07:16Like ghosts with no shame
07:18Some dance to remember
07:20Some dance to regret
07:22But the song plays on
07:25And we ain't done yet
07:28Raise a glass to the love we fake
07:31To the past we just can't shake
07:33In the midnight hush
07:35Truth wears thin
07:37I still hear those whispers on the wind
07:42I called the barkeep
07:48Said bring me a sign
07:49He just laughed and said
07:51Boy, we're out of time
07:52No wine since the summer of 69
07:54Only spirits here are the haunted kind
07:57Smoke curls up from a corner boot
07:59Where an old man hums an ancient truth
08:02He says son, you can run
08:03But you can't stay free
08:04This place remembers who you used to be
08:07Whispers on the wind
08:09Calling through the pines
08:12Where the lost go walks
08:14And pass counting lines
08:17Some pray for grace
08:19Some pray for sin
08:21But all of them dance to behold a king
08:26Raise a toast to the lies we tell
08:29To the nights we almost fell
08:32In a ballroom dream
08:34That never ends
08:36I still hear those whispers on the wind
08:41She's long gone now
08:52Or maybe just a breath
08:54A perfume trail
08:57A memory of death
08:59But when the fire dies low
09:02And I close my eyes
09:04I see her smile
09:07Like a ghost in disguise
09:10Whispers on the wind
09:13Call me back each time
09:15To that lonesome road
09:18But I swore I'd leave behind
09:20Some dance for heaven
09:23Some dance for pain
09:25But it's all just steps
09:28In a southern rain
09:30Raise your glass if you've ever been
09:33The sinner, the saint
09:34Or the might have been
09:36In the hush between what was and when
09:38You'll hear those whispers on the wind
09:44Yeah, still hear them
09:52Whispers on the wind
09:54You're quite fast
09:59And it's all about
10:01You're from the truth
10:03And it's all about
10:04You're from the wind
