In a small town where the nights are long
I hear the echoes of where I've gone wrong
Lost in memories I can't unsee
Looking for the man I used to be
Old dirt roads, they tell my tale
Each bend and turn, I've set my sail
Chasing shadows of yesterday's ghosts
In the heart of the town I miss the most
Make me whole again, take away this pain
Wash my sins in the cleansing rain
Can't live with my past haunting every step
I need your love to help me forget
The church bell's tolling, it's a mournful sound
For the boy lost, never to be found
In the pew, I bow my head in shame
Praying for a chance to change my name
The porch swing creaks, a lullaby so sweet
But it can't sway the guilt beneath my feet
With each creak, I dream of a new dawn
Where my troubles are finally gone
Make me whole again, take away this pain
Wash my sins in the cleansing rain
Can't live with my past haunting every step
I need your love to help me forget
The church bell's tolling, it's a mournful sound
For the boy lost, never to be found
In the pew, I bow my head in shame
Praying for a chance to change my name
