[Verse 1]
Motel coffee
Paper cup
Static on the TV
Sun just up
Same old Bible in the drawer
Same old “what are you running from?” at the door
[Chorus]
Lonely road
Take me somewhere I ain’t known
I’ve been talking to the white lines
Begging to go home
But home keeps moving further in the rearview glow
So it’s just me
This rusted wheel
And one more lonely road
[Verse 2]
Gas station gravel on my boots
Half a tank of anger
Half the truth
Your last message sitting unread
But your name lights up like a flare in my head
[Chorus]
Lonely road
Take me somewhere I ain’t known
I’ve been talking to the white lines
Begging to go home
But home keeps moving further in the rearview glow
So it’s just me
This rusted wheel
And one more lonely road
[Bridge]
Maybe I’ll turn back
Maybe I won’t (maybe I won’t)
Maybe I’ll call you
Maybe I won’t (hey)
If I hit that county line before I break down slow
Will I finally let you go
Or just follow this road
[Chorus]
Lonely road
Take me somewhere I ain’t known
I’ve been talking to the white lines
Begging to go home
If home’s just hearts that never had to let us go
Then I’ll keep driving through the dark
Singing to this lonely road
