Southbound Shame

[Verse]
Down in the delta shadows deep
A man with fists his secrets keep
Beats his meat just like his life
With the same rage he hits his wife
[Verse 2]
Whiskey bottle shattered dreams
Echoes loud her silent screams
In a town where whispers talk
Hides his sins in every walk
[Chorus]
Southbound shame a twisted game
Love’s a curse in his dark name
Breaking hearts and battered pride
In the night nowhere to hide
[Bridge]
Promises broken like the dawn
Every bruise another song
Haunted eyes a shattered view
Hope is lost but she knew
[Verse 3]
Corners dark where shadows breathe
Painful truths that never leave
Hands so rough with rage they speak
In that house the floors do creak
[Chorus]
Southbound shame a twisted game
Love’s a curse in his dark name
Breaking hearts and battered pride
In the night nowhere to hide
