Lyrics
Verse 1 The road keeps rollin’ under my worn-out shoes, I keep on talkin’ to the wind, it don’t answer my blues. Got a heart half-healed, and a soul half-broke, Every mile I drive leaves another word unspoke. The sun burns low, and the wires hum that tune, Ain’t no promise comin’ soon. My hands remember every chord I played, But my heart forgets the games I made. ⸻ Chorus I got miles behind my shadow, And truth before my eyes. Every step’s a battle, Every night another disguise. But I keep singin’ like tomorrow’s mine, Let that Texas groove redefine my time. ⸻ Verse 2 Ain’t no silver talker gonna tell me what’s true, I seen the best of men fade in shades of blue. The stars don’t listen, but the highway might, When I pour my soul in the edge of night. The neon buzz, the old amp moans, The crowd fades out — I’m not alone. That Strat’s my preacher, the strings confess, Every bend a wound, every note a blessin’ dressed. ⸻ Chorus I got miles behind my shadow, And truth before my [guitar solo] Bridge Maybe someday I’ll rest my bones, Build a little house made of broken tones. But until that peace decides to stay, I’ll chase the night — that’s my way. These strings still talk when the truth runs dry, Every tear I’ve shed became another sky. And if love comes knockin’ on my door again, She’ll find a man who learned from pain. ⸻ Chorus (Final) I got miles behind my shadow, And truth before my eyes. Every wound’s a medal, Every scar another prize. Let the night roll in, let the speakers cry, I’m still breathin’, still singin’ — I don’t ask why.
