Five Hundred Miles

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Five hundred miles on the dash Dust on my boots, cold in the cab Your name on a paper napkin Folded up tight in my hand I pass the same gas station sign Same red barn on the county line [Pre-Chorus] And every road keeps saying go But my heart keeps dragging slow I keep seeing your porch light glow Like it knows me, like it knows me [Chorus] Five hundred miles, I’m coming home Five hundred miles, you’re not alone If I lose my way, I’ll still come back Five hundred miles on this same track (500 miles) (500 miles) [Verse 2] I missed your call by an hour Saw your message in the dark You said the house feels too quiet When the wind cuts through the yard I held that screen like it was you Like it could pull me all the way through [Pre-Chorus] And every road keeps saying go But my heart keeps dragging slow I keep seeing your porch light glow Like it knows me, like it knows me [Chorus] Five hundred miles, I’m coming home Five hundred miles, you’re not alone If I lose my way, I’ll still come back Five hundred miles on this same track (500 miles) (500 miles) [Bridge] Let the map crumple on the seat I know your front step by heart I’ve been gone, I’ve been half asleep Now I’m waking up in the dark One more town, one more bend Then I’m back where the road should end [Final Chorus] Five hundred miles, I’m coming home Five hundred miles, you’re not alone If I lose my way, I’ll still come back Five hundred miles on this same track Five hundred miles, and I’m almost there Five hundred miles, I’ll meet you there (500 miles) (500 miles)
