Verse 1 I threw your keys in the gravel driveway Watched ‘em sink where the weeds grow through Didn’t wait for a grand conclusion I just stopped making room for you There’s a screen door slam in the back of my mind But it don’t pull me like before You were something I kept forgiving Now you’re something I ignore Pre-Chorus And I ain’t looking for a reason why I just let it go this time Chorus (upbeat, driving) Yeah the dust don’t settle when I’m moving Tires spinning on a two-lane line Got your name in the rearview fading And it finally feels like mine I ain’t carrying what you handed me I set it down and let it lie Yeah the dust don’t settle when I’m moving And I’m done running in place this time Verse 2 There’s a bar off 9th where they still ask questions Like I owe them some kind of truth But I don’t need to tell that story I outgrew that version of you Got the windows down and the night wide open Radio barely coming through Every mile feels a little lighter Like I cut the weight I used to use Pre-Chorus You can talk but I won’t slow down I don’t turn this truck around Chorus Yeah the dust don’t settle when I’m moving Tires spinning on a two-lane line Got your name in the rearview fading And it finally feels like mine I ain’t carrying what you handed me I set it down and let it lie Yeah the dust don’t settle when I’m moving And I’m done running in place this time Bridge (half-time → build) I ain’t angry, I just ain’t yours That’s a difference I couldn’t see before (build kicks back in) No more waiting on a change that won’t come No more standing where I don’t belong Final Chorus (bigger, full band) Yeah the dust don’t settle when I’m moving Let it rise, let it blur that line Ain’t no trace of what I walked through Just the road and a clearer mind I ain’t carrying what you handed me I left it somewhere miles behind Yeah the dust don’t settle when I’m moving And I’m finally moving right this time Outro (driving, repeat fade) Dust don’t settle… No, it don’t settle… Not this time
