Carbon 27

I rode back down that broken road

Dust rising like a ghost I used to know

The sign still leans where the bullets hit

Carbon Highway, Mile 27

A place God forgot

Carbon 27

When hell turned true and real

Carbon 27

Gunfire calling my name

Damn Carbon 27

The sand's still stained where we made our stand

Brothers shouting through the smoke, shadows in the burning sand

I lost more than blood that day

I left a part of myself out in the clay

Carbon 27

When hell turned true and real

Carbon 27

Gunfire calling my name

Damn Carbon 27

If ghosts could speak, they'd tell me to run

But this road keeps dragging me back to what I've done

Maybe forgiveness is buried in this dirt

Or maybe the past is meant to hurt

Carbon 27

When hell turned true and real

Carbon 27

I stand here, but the echoes never quit

Damn Carbon 27
