I learned how to drive on empty roads Windows down, radio low Every mile felt like a promise Every town I didn’t know I wasn’t running from my past I was chasing something close Mama said “don’t look back too long” Daddy said “trust your feet” I packed my doubts in the backseat Left my fear in the street Somewhere between goodbye and gone I finally learned to breathe I’m heading where the road knows my name Where the sky feels wide again Every wrong turn taught me something Every scar still counts as then If I’m lost, I’m lost on purpose If I fall, I fall the same I’m heading where the road knows my name I’ve loved things that didn’t last I’ve stayed when I should’ve run But every heartbreak left a sign Pointing me to what I’ve become I don’t need all the answers now Just a little morning sun There’s a town that still remembers The girl I used to be But I don’t fit inside those lines And that’s finally okay with me I’m not looking for forever Just a place that feels like me If the future feels uncertain And the past won’t let me stay I’ll keep moving till my heartbeat Matches every step I take I’m heading where the road knows my name Where the quiet feels like home I don’t need a perfect ending Just a reason to keep going on If the world forgets my footsteps I won’t play the blame I’m heading where the road knows my name Yeah… where the road knows my name
