Drifting (Live from Tootsie's Orchid Lounge)

[Quiet Room / Fingerpicked Acoustic Guitar] [Colt — speaking softly] We're gonna bring it down a little bit... Sometimes you don't gotta know where you're goin'. Sometimes... You just gotta go. [Brief Pause] This one's called Driftin'. [Guitar continues] [Verse 1] Highway lines turn to blur in my eyes Got the wheel, but I ain't really drivin' Radio playin' somethin' low and slow But I'm somewhere else I don't even know Gas light low, but I don't pull in Ain't chasin' nothin', ain't runnin' from it Just let the night take over my mind Like I hit cruise control on life [Pre-Chorus] Ain't no past... Ain't no next... Just this moment... In my chest. [Pedal Steel Enters] [Chorus] I'm just driftin'... No direction, no plan Let the wind take the wheel outta my hands Ain't tryna hold on to nothin' tonight Just ridin' that line between wrong and right I ain't lost... I just don't care where it goes Headlights fade and I'm lettin' it roll Somewhere between who I was... And who I've been... I ain't fallin'... I'm just... Driftin'. [Guitar Rings / Room Stays Quiet] [Verse 2] Phone stays dead, I don't charge that thing Ain't nobody I need to ring Used to chase what I couldn't keep Now I'm fine just ridin' free There's a calm in the chaos now Don't ask me why, don't ask me how It's like I finally let it all go And found somethin' I didn't know [Pre-Chorus] No more tryin'... No more fight... Just me... And this open night. [Chorus] I'm just driftin'... No direction, no plan Let the wind take the wheel outta my hands Ain't tryna hold on to nothin' tonight Just ridin' that line between wrong and right I ain't lost... I just don't care where it goes Headlights fade and I'm lettin' it roll Somewhere between who I was... And who I've been... I ain't fallin'... I'm just... Driftin'. [Long Pedal Steel Fill] [Bridge — Almost Whispered] No headlights... No signs... No voices... Just time... [Guitar Becomes Nearly Silent] If I disappear In this midnight spin... Don't come lookin'... I'm good where I've been. [Long Pause] [Single Guitar Strum] [Final Chorus — Slow Emotional Build] I'm just driftin'... Yeah, I'm finally free Ain't no chains left holdin' me Let it all go... let it all fade Every mistake that I ever made I ain't lost... Nah... I found my way... In the dark where the silence stays Somewhere between who I was... And who I've been... [Instrumentation Begins Dropping Away] I ain't fallin'... [Pedal Steel Fades] I ain't lost... [Only Acoustic Guitar] I ain't runnin' from nothin'... I'm just... [Pause] Driftin'... [Final Guitar Chord Rings Out] [Several Seconds of Silence] [Crowd Erupts Into Applause / Whistles] [Colt — quietly] Thank y'all. [Guitar gently rings out]
