### Verse 1 Load-out ends around three I take the eight eighty north with the windows down There's nothing on it but me and the trucks The road is smooth and lit and empty ### Verse 2 I drive slower than I need to I stay in the right lane and let them pass It's not that I don't want to go home It's that this is the only hour I'm not anyone's ### Chorus Past my exit, past my exit One more mile, one more mile Past my exit, past my exit I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon [Slide Guitar Solo] ### Verse 3 I park and turn the engine off And sit there while it ticks and cools The bedroom window's lit I tell myself one more minute It's the same minute as the last one ### Verse 4 I still love you but why does coming home always feel so cold? You're across the room but I just don't feel it Just once you could say "I missed you while you were out" ### Chorus Past my exit, past my exit One more mile, one more mile Past my exit, past my exit I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon [Brief solo] ### Bridge You've never asked where I was You know exactly how long the drive is You've never said so You are always awake anyway ### Final Chorus Past my exit, past my exit One more mile, one more mile Past my exit, past my exit I'm coming up the stairs
