[Verse]
She'd been cryin' on the front porch every Saturday night
Bruises on her arms where love should be light
His whiskey breath and outlaw ways
Left her haunted in a dark, lonely maze

[Verse 2]
I came by that evening, just another routine
Until I saw her face, weary and unclean
She whispered for help between broken-hearted sighs
And that's when I knew, it was time for the lies

[Chorus]
One body that will never be found
Justice served in this silent town
A heart saved, a devil drowned
There's one body that will never be found

[Verse 3]
We planned it out beneath the southern stars
Her freedom bound to a southern scar
The shovel met the earth, his reign ended deep
She drove away, and now he sleeps

[Verse 4]
Morning light, and she's somewhere far
With a brand new life, far from his scar
My conscience clean, though my hands are dirt-stained
Her laughter now free from his harsh reign

[Chorus]
One body that will never be found
Justice served in this silent town
A heart saved, a devil drowned
There's one body that will never be found
