[Verse 1]
I packed the van at dawn
With six small storms in back
One boot, two lunchboxes
Crayons, jackets, snack attack
You ask how I stay standing
When the miles chew through the tires
I count your hands in the rearview
Like sparks in a wire
[Pre-Chorus]
Little voice from the backseat
"Are we there yet?"
I laugh through my teeth
And grip that wheel like debt
One more town
One more hill
One more reason
To keep it still
[Chorus]
Six seats deep, six hearts beating
(never done, never done)
Long road, long road, keeps on stretching
(never done, never done)
I keep driving
I keep fighting
This house on wheels
Keeps moving on
Six seats deep, six hearts beating
Till the dawn is gone
[Verse 2]
There’s a juice stain on the console
And a sock on the dash
A lightning bolt of laughter
Cuts through every crash
Your mother taught me patience
By the way she held our line
Now I pass it down in motion
Through the noise and grind
[Pre-Chorus]
Little voice from the backseat
"Sing it again"
So I bang on the steering wheel
And bring you all in
One more song
One more mile
One more reason
To bare my smile
[Chorus]
Six seats deep, six hearts beating
(never done, never done)
Long road, long road, keeps on stretching
(never done, never done)
I keep driving
I keep fighting
This house on wheels
Keeps moving on
Six seats deep, six hearts beating
Till the dawn is gone
[Bridge]
When the blacktop turns to thunder
And my shoulders turn to stone
I hear six small lives behind me
And I know I’m not alone
If the map runs out of mercy
If the signposts fade to rust
I’ll be the iron in the engine
I’ll be the hand that holds the trust
[Final Chorus]
Six seats deep, six hearts beating
(never done, never done)
Long road, long road, keeps on stretching
(never done, never done)
I keep driving
I keep fighting
This house on wheels
Keeps moving on
Six seats deep, six hearts beating
Till the dawn is gone
