Verse 1 I’ve spent more time in the driver’s seat Than sittin’ ‘round my table at home That old dash knows all my secrets While my mailbox grows old alone Pre-Chorus The yellow lines, they blur into one Every sign’s another setting sun Chorus These lonely roads, they take their toll Piece by piece, they steal my soul I see the faces in the rearview fade They're ghosts I made along the way Sometimes I feel more at home out here Than the house where my heart should stay Verse 2 I’ve met strangers at truck stop lights Who know my name like family But the ones that raised me, love me, miss me Don’t see me like they used to see Bridge (Soul Section) There’s peace in the hum of the highway There’s pain in the silence between I keep chasing miles like a memory That only the night can redeem Final Chorus / Outro: These lonely roads, they’re all I know Carved my name in the undertow If home’s just where the heart goes cold Then I guess I’m where I belong—on these lonely roads
