Verse 1 Got the diesel humming like an old guitar, Sun coming up over where we are. Coffee in a travel mug, dash lights glow, Another town in the rearview slow. Chorus We’re carrying the past like a country song, Every verse tells where we’ve gone. Yeah, we’ll miss those days, but we can’t stay, There’s a horizon calling us away. With the wheels turning under thread, There’s a million miles ahead. Verse 2 Left a piece of us in every place, Every mile’s got a familiar face. On star lit nights we watch the sky, Still hear echoes when the wind blows by. Pre-Chorus We’ve been down roads that changed our names, Through the losses and the gains. Chorus We’re carrying the past like a country song, Every verse tells where we’ve gone. Yeah, we’ll miss those days, but we can’t stay, There’s a horizon calling us away. With the wheels turning under thread, There’s a million miles ahead. Verse 3 Woke up parked by a mountain stream, Chasing down another dream. Map’s all worn but we don’t mind, Some of the best roads you never find. Pre-Chorus Every turn’s a leap of faith, Every goodbye’s a brand new place. Chorus We’re carrying the past like a country song, Every verse tells where we’ve gone. Yeah, we’ll miss those days, but we can’t stay, There’s a horizon calling us away. Through the dust and roads we’ve tread, There’s a million miles ahead. Bridge What’s waiting past that county line? Another sunset, another sign? We don’t know, but that’s alright, We’ve got forever in these headlights. Breakdown (soft, acoustic feel) Every memory rides shotgun, Every road leads to the next one… Final Chorus We’re carrying the past but letting go, Like a river that just keeps rolling on. Yeah, we’ll miss those days, but we won’t stay, We were born to drift this way. With every mile and every thread, There’s a brand new road ahead. Outro In the mirror, all the love we’ve known… Out here on the road, we’re already home Out here on the road, we’re already home Out here on the road, we’re already home
