Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama’s got a bottle by the Bible
Daddy’s got a bottle by the sink
Little white moons on the counter
Disappear faster than you’d think
Ashtray full of promises
They keep meaning to keep
Cartoons on a flickering screen
I learn how to lose sleep
[Chorus]
So I packed my hope in a duffel bag
Threw my heart in the backseat too
Left that house of drowsy prayers
And “I’ll get better, I swear” blues
I’m trading in those kitchen pills
For a sky they can’t shut down
I’m chasing freedom past the county line
As the rearview swallows that town
[Verse 2]
Mama’s hands shake making supper
Daddy’s eyes glaze in his chair
We talk about the weather
Like the storm ain’t in the air
I found a crumpled map in the junk drawer
Smelled like dust and gasoline
Circle on a name I liked
Said, “That’s where I’ll learn to breathe”
[Chorus]
So I packed my hope in a duffel bag
Threw my heart in the backseat too
Left that house of drowsy prayers
And “I’ll get better, I swear” blues
I’m trading in those kitchen pills
For a sky they can’t shut down
I’m chasing freedom past the county line
As the rearview swallows that town
[Bridge]
Windows down, wind like a choir
Singing, “Kid, you made it out alive” (oh yeah)
Every mile between us
Feels like a brand‑new spine
I still hear their cabinets rattle
When the road gets quiet at night
But this broken kid is driving
Straight into the light
[Chorus]
Yeah, I packed my hope in a duffel bag
Threw my heart in the backseat too
Left that house of drowsy prayers
And “I’ll get better, I swear” blues
I’m trading in those kitchen pills
For a sky they can’t shut down
I’m chasing freedom past the county line
And I’m never turning around

Style
country, Dusty modern country ballad, midtempo. Brushed drums and warm pedal steel under a fingerpicked acoustic, bass riding steady like a two-lane highway. Verses stay intimate and close-mic; chorus opens with big, gritty male vocals, stacked harmonies, and a cracked-edge belt on the hook. Organ pad blooms in the bridge for a rush of release, then drop to guitar and vocal on the final line.
