Verse 1
The sun comes up on a dusty mile,
Coffee steam and an old truck smile,
Radio hums like it knows my pain,
Every song sounds a little like rain.
I got miles behind and miles to go,
A heart that’s bruised but a soul that knows,
You don’t outrun love, you just learn to stay,
Or let it go like yesterday.
Pre-Chorus
Mama said, “Boy, don’t fight the truth,
Life’s a circle, not a straight-line proof.”
Chorus
I’m headed south where the sky turns wide,
Where the stars lean low and the dreams don’t hide,
I’ve been lost, I’ve been ashamed,
But this old road still knows my name.
With every scar and every flame,
Yeah, this old road still knows my name.
Verse 2
Neon lights and a two-step floor,
Boots on wood, can’t ask for more,
Saw your eyes in a memory flash,
Like a burned-out love and a broken match.
We were young, we were wild and free,
Swore forever was you and me,
But promises fade like a summer song,
Still the night keeps humming along.
Pre-Chorus
Daddy said, “Son, don’t curse the past,
Some things slow you so you don’t crash.”
Chorus
I’m headed south where the sky turns wide,
Where the stars lean low and the dreams don’t hide,
I’ve been lost, I’ve been ashamed,
But this old road still knows my name.
With every scar and every flame,
Yeah, this old road still knows my name.
Bridge
If I stop running, if I stand still,
Maybe peace is waiting on that hill,
Every wrong turn led me here,
Through the doubt, through the fear.
Chorus (soft → big)
I’m headed home where the heart beats slow,
Where the river bends and the wild winds blow,
I’ve been burned, I’ve been changed,
But this old road still knows my name.
No more running, no more blame,
Yeah, this old road still knows my name.
Outro
The sun goes down on a dusty mile,
Same old truck, same tired smile,
But tonight, it don’t feel the same…
’Cause this old road still knows my name.
