Miles Still Left

Title: “Miles Still Left”

(Slow, steady strum. Almost talking.)

Verse 1

I learned how to leave before I learned to stay,

Been countin exit signs since I was young that way,

Every town feels borrowed, every bed feels cold,

I’ve been growin older just chasin control.

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need much now,

Just a little grace,

Some peace of mind

And an open lane.

Chorus (HOOK — TikTok ready)

I got miles still left in me,

Miles I don’t explain,

Miles between who I was

And who I’m tryin to be today.

I ain’t lost, I ain’t free,

Just somewhere in between,

Yeah I got miles still left in me.

Verse 2

I’ve slept in trucks with my boots still tied,

Woke up not knowin the state or time,

Said goodbye more than I ever stayed,

Carried names I don’t say.

Pre-Chorus

I don’t blame the road,

It never lied,

It just shows you

What you can’t hide.

Chorus (repeat — same melody, softer)

I got miles still left in me,

Miles I don’t explain,

Miles between who I was

And who I’m tryin to be today.

I ain’t lost, I ain’t free,

Just somewhere in between,

Yeah I got miles still left in me.

Bridge (drop the strum, almost whisper)

I’ve talked to God in passing towns,

Asked Him why I’m still around,

Maybe I’m still learnin when to rest,

Maybe this is part of it.

Final Chorus (shortened — TikTok loop)

I got miles still left in me,

Miles I don’t explain,

If I ever find home,

I’ll know I earned my way.

Yeah I got miles still left in me.

(End on the line “left in me” — let it ring for a loop)
