[Verse 1]
I crossed it late one Friday evening
With her suitcase in the back
She didn’t speak the whole way over
Just stared out at the black
When we reached the other side
She finally turned to look at me
Said some borders ain’t on maps
They’re the kind you never see
[Chorus]
County line heartache
Is the kind that don’t heal clean
It starts the moment that you leave
And follows every mile between
I can still see her in the mirror
Watching everything we had
County line heartache
Is the only thing that lasted
[Verse 2]
I drive that stretch most every Sunday
Just to feel the old divide
The sign still stands where it always did
Marking what we left behind
I never meant to make a permanent cut
I only meant to get away
But some decisions draw a line
That the heart can’t rearrange
[Chorus]
County line heartache
Is the kind that don’t heal clean
It starts the moment that you leave
And follows every mile between
I can still see her in the mirror
Watching everything we had
County line heartache
Is the only thing that lasted
[Bridge]
I’ve tried to cross it going back
Tried to make the distance small
But the line stays right where we left it
And it never moves at all
Some borders aren’t made of asphalt
They’re made of what you choose
[Final Chorus]
County line heartache
Is the kind that don’t heal clean
It starts the moment that you leave
And follows every mile between
I can still see her in the mirror
Watching everything we had
County line heartache
Is the only thing that lasted
[Outro]
Sign still standing in the daylight…
The road still quiet on both sides
County line heartache
Is the place where love divides
