Miles for my babies

Verse 1)

Sun comes up on another long road,

Coffee’s strong, and my load’s strapped down tight.

These chains and binders, they tell my story,

Another sunrise, another goodbye.

I see their faces in my rearview mirror,

Tiny hands that wave when I roll away.

Every mile I drive, I whisper their names,

Daddy’s out here makin’ sure you’re okay.

(Chorus)

I’m haulin’ miles for my babies,

Every stretch of highway pays our dues.

Flatbed dreams and diesel prayers,

I’d cross this whole world just for you.

I might be gone, but my heart ain’t,

It rides shotgun every mile I make.

Yeah, I’m haulin’ miles for my babies,

And every mile’s a love I can’t replace.

(Verse 2)

Rain hits hard on the open blacktop,

But I keep rollin’, ‘cause that’s what I do.

Every ache, every sleepless night,

Is just another “I love you.”

Some folks chase money, fame, and pride,

But I’m chasin’ bedtime stories and smiles.

Someday they’ll know why Daddy drove,

Through the lonely and the hard for a while.

(Chorus)

I’m haulin’ miles for my babies,

Every stretch of highway pays our dues.

Flatbed dreams and diesel prayers,

I’d cross this whole world just for you.

I might be gone, but my heart ain’t,

It rides shotgun every mile I make.

Yeah, I’m haulin’ miles for my babies,

And every mile’s a love I can’t replace.

(Bridge)

One day they’ll climb up in my seat,

Feel the hum of the road beneath their feet.

I’ll tell ‘em, “Son, it wasn’t easy,

But I did it all for you and your sister, believe me.”

(Final Chorus)

I’m haulin’ miles for my babies,

From the sunrise to the starry night.

Every load and every line I sing,

Was built on love and sacrifice.

I might be gone, but my heart ain’t,

It rides with you wherever you lay.

Yeah, I’m haulin’ miles for my babies —

And Daddy’s love will never fade away.

(Outro)

So when that diesel hums down the road,

Know I’m comin’ home,

Haulin’ love back home to you.
