Verse 1 Highway hums low, just me and the sky, That video call’s just a ghost in my mind. Left the roadhouse behind, let the whiskey burn clean, I’m carryin’ my scars, but my heart’s runnin’ lean. Pre-Chorus No chains, no pain, just the road up ahead, I’m livin’ for me, not the tears that I shed. Chorus Runnin’ free, with the fire in my soul, No more chasin’ your lies down a dead-end road. Built a man from the wreckage you left in your wake, This heart’s still alive, and it’s runnin’ free today. Verse 2 Pass that old diner where we scratched our dreams, Now it’s dust on my boots, just a faded old scene. The jukebox don’t haunt me, the nights don’t bite, These strings sing my freedom in the pale starlight. Pre-Chorus No ghosts, no grief, just the wind at my back, I’m writin’ my story on this endless black track. Chorus Runnin’ free, with the fire in my soul, No more chasin’ your lies down a dead-end road. Built a man from the wreckage you left in your wake, This heart’s still alive, and it’s runnin’ free today. Bridge I forgave the fool I was for lovin’ you blind, Found a steel in my bones that your betrayal refined. The road ain’t salvation, but it’s honest and wide, I’m runnin’ toward freedom with my head held high. Chorus Runnin’ free, with the fire in my soul, No more chasin’ your lies down a dead-end road. Built a man from the wreckage you left in your wake, This heart’s still alive, and it’s runnin’ free today. Outro *(Slow picking: E|-3---3---|)* Highway keeps callin’, I ain’t lookin’ behind, Runnin’ free, with a strong, steady mind.
