Lyrics
You’re digging through rubble, and I'm losing hope
In the shadows of rust, it's hard to cope
Day after day, and your dreams don’t change
Stacking up heartbreak in the pouring rain
You say you’re fixin’ to build us a life
But I’m left with sorrow, being your wife
Tired of rust and old engines
Your yard's a graveyard, it’s more than I can bear
Freedom, oh freedom
Is more than old steel you're haulin' here
[Chorus]
How much more can I take, darlin'?
Junk cars and dreams, they're all fallin' apart
Broken promises and shattered glass
Your dreams of fixing up, but they never last
Leaving is hard, but staying's hell
With every rusty ride, I lose myself
[Chorus]
How much more can I take, darlin'?
Junk cars and dreams, they're all fallin' apart
Nights get colder without a spark
Your hands are calloused, but you miss the mark
You say you'll turn those wheels around
But all I've known is this same old town
[Verse 3]
Windows broken, hearts the same
I'm packing up memories, with every tear and pain
Tired of hollow words, 'bout brighter days
I'm seeing nothing but a rusty haze
This love we built, now buried in scrap
Each kiss I gave, every hug, every clap
[Bridge]
So tonight I’m driving far away
From the junkyard dreams where I used to stay
No more rust, no more lies, no more hesitation
Put the key in the ignition, I'm done with this station
Rearview mirror filled with what's left behind
Road ahead looks like freedom, so clear in my mind
[Chorus]
How much more can I take, darlin'?
Junk cars and dreams, they're all fallin' apart
