This aching heart feels so alone
Drivin' this empty mountain road
I've been travellin' since Wednesday night
I'm goin' to Reno to make things right
I'm gonna look you, straight In the eyes
"cause intuition, never lies
I got this feeling, you ain't been true
This soldiers heart, burns black and blue
Unfaithful heart, whimsy's child
Wandering spirit, whiskey bride
When I went to war, you went to bed
Fought for my country and now I'm dead
Since I landed, In Fort Bragg
And caught this greyhound, this heart's been cryin'
In distant taverns, sat by the phone
With all my dusty, letters home
And now I walk down lonely streets
And look at every girl I meet
Like she were you, and you were her
But in this bottle, it's all a blur
Unfaithful heart, whimsy's child
Wandering spirit, whiskey bride
When I went to war, you went to bed
Fought for my country and now I'm dead
And all the town folk, know my name
Say I ain't never, been the same
I might be livin', but it's been said
That on the inside, I'm really dead
Unfaithful heart, whimsy's child
Wandering spirit, whiskey bride
When I went to war, you went to bed
Fought for my country and now I'm dead
Fought for my country and now I'm dead
