[Chorus]

Rusty Nail on a dusty road

There’s a scar in the palm of your hand

There’s a vacant cross and an empty tomb

And a love that I’ll never understand


[Verse 1]

I guess my leaving you was much too hard

For this poor soul to stand

But here I am, I’m right back again

And I’m reaching out for your hand


[Chorus]

Rusty Nail on a dusty road

There’s a scar in the palm of your hand

There’s a vacant cross and an empty tomb

And a love that I’ll never understand


[Verse 3]

There are city streets with a million feet

And roads that lead only to sand

Some know power and some know pain

There’s a scar right across this land


[Chorus]

Rusty Nail on a dusty road

There’s a scar in the palm of your hand

There’s a vacant cross and an empty tomb

And a love that I’ll never understand
