Where the White Lines Run

Tekst utworu

[Verse 1] The map is folded in the passenger door Coffee gone cold on the county line Your hand is waving from the front porch But I can’t leave this road behind [Pre-Chorus] Every mile puts a little more sky Between the old and the next goodbye [Chorus] I’m rolling where the white lines run Chasing the edge of a rising sun No promise waiting, no reason to stay Just an open wheel and a wide-open day If the road bends, I’ll bend that way I’ve got a heart that was built to stray [Verse 2] A red barn leans by the railroad crossing Rain taps time on the windshield glass I hear your voice in the engine humming Then let the moment pass [Bridge] Maybe someday I’ll turn around With dust on my boots and a story to tell But tonight there’s a river of asphalt And the further I go, the more I know myself [Chorus] I’m rolling where the white lines run Chasing the edge of a rising sun No promise waiting, no reason to stay Just an open wheel and a wide-open day If the road bends, I’ll bend that way I’ve got a heart that was built to stray [Outro] Past the last town, past the fading sign The highway keeps its hand in mine
