Red light blinking on the water tower Same as it's been my whole life long Dust hangs low above the blacktop Radio humming an old familiar song There's a porch light burning out on Bethel road Where the gravel meets the county line And for a minute everything looks the same Till it don't tonight [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it's the miles Maybe it's the years Maybe it's the silence Ringing in my ears [Chorus] It's the same road Under a different sky Same creek winding through the cottonwoods Same stars hanging high But something feels different That I can't explain Like I'm seeing this place For the first time again It's the same road Under a different sky [Verse 2] Old church standing on the hilltop Paint peeling from the front door frame Baseball field behind the schoolyard Still carrying somebody's name The wind moves through the wheat fields Like it's got somewhere to be And every mile marker I pass tonight Feels like it's watching me [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it's the memories Maybe it's the moon Maybe all the answers Show up way too soon [Chorus] It's the same road Under a different sky Same creek winding through the cottonwoods Same stars hanging high But something feels different That I can't explain Like I'm seeing this place For the first time again It's the same road Under a different sky It's the same road Under a different sky [Bridge] We spend our whole lives leaving Just to find our way back home Chasing things we thought we needed Down roads we've never known Funny how a midnight drive Can make the world slow down And show you what was always there Before you looked around [Final Chorus] It's the same road Under a different sky Same creek winding through the cottonwoods Same stars hanging high And maybe nothing changed here Maybe I've changed instead Maybe that's the reason These old roads still live inside my head It's the same road Under a different sky [Outro] Same road... Different sky...
