From Milan to Alabama

[Verse]
Pickin' on my porch swing Alabama heat in the air
Strummin' these chords but the words just ain't there
Ever since Milan silence wrapped me tight
Can't find no melody to sing my heart right
[Verse 2]
Banjo strings pluckin' memories I've lost
Moonshine moments all too brief and tossed
Feet tappin' dirt roads where dreams fade slow
Melodies and whispers where did they go
[Chorus]
Oh Milan took my voice just like a thief in the night
Left my soul wandering in the southern twilight
From the city lights to this dusty farm land
I strum my silent song with weathered hands
[Bridge]
Banjo and guitar dancing in the dark
Hoping for a spark neither flame nor spark
Echoes of the river where the crickets croon
In this symphony of shadows under the moon
[Verse 3]
Whispering wind through the tall pine trees
Carrying my thoughts cross the seven seas
Still that Milan silence holds my tongue tight
But oh how my heart's burnin tryna set it right
[Chorus]
Oh Milan took my voice just like a thief in the night
Left my soul wandering in the southern twilight
From the city lights to this dusty farm land
I strum my silent song with weathered hands
