[Verse 1] Sunrise in the side-view Coffee in a paper cup Your picture on the dash Propped where I can’t give you up Mile signs flicker past me Same sky, different town Talking to your voicemail Just to calm me down [Chorus] I’m miles from my front door But I’m driving for our dreams Every shift of this old wheel Keeps the lights on, keeps us free I hold you in my mind Like a song I can’t ignore Baby, every load I haul Brings me closer Closer to our front door [Verse 2] Kids’ drawings on the visor Crayons in every line “Daddy’s truck is giant” Underneath a crooked smile I miss bedtime stories You brushing out your hair But every lonely checkpoint Says I’m getting there [Chorus] I’m miles from my front door But I’m driving for our dreams Every shift of this old wheel Keeps the lights on, keeps us free I hold you in my mind Like a song I can’t ignore Baby, every load I haul Brings me closer Closer to our front door [Bridge] Some nights the road feels endless (oh) White lines blur and bend But your name on my lips Turns a long road into a friend I whisper, “I’ll be home soon” To the hum beneath my feet Every sunrise that I chase Brings you back to me [Chorus] I’m miles from my front door But I’m driving for our dreams Every shift of this old wheel Keeps the lights on, keeps us free I hold you in my mind Like a song I can’t ignore Baby, every load I haul Brings me closer Closer to our front door
