Thousands of miles are adding up inside his heart

He's still playing the game, but he's running out of cards

HIs queen of hearts holding on to that sunset

As the joker's riding off, chasing gold out in the West

The road to hell is paved with good intentions like they said

Our protagonist is just a modern day Macbeth

No one chooses death, but the grave's a guarantee

Who would start a journey headed for a tragedy?

Lynchburg, Tennessee, well, it's known for making fire

Mix it with some lonely and you're bound to walk a wire

He had no idea it'd kill him when the whiskey hit his lips

One more shot of Daniel's was that dying boy's last wish

The road to hell is paved with good intentions like they said

Our protagonist is just a modern day Macbeth

No one chooses death, but the grave's a guarantee

Who would start a journey headed for a tragedy?

Pretty little lies flashing by, before her eyes

She stares at them all day, wishing that could be her life

Little did they know, she would always say, "I'm fine"

Hiding all the heartache up until her last goodbye

The road to hell is paved with good intentions like they said

Our protagonist is just a modern day Macbeth

No one chooses death, but the grave's a guarantee

Who would start a journey headed for a tragedy?

Headed for a tragedy
