5,900 Miles of Us
Verse 1
Bucky, Kayce, Cove and Klaira,
Ellie, Carpenter singing louder,
Packed that minivan wall to wall,
Fifty-nine hundred miles—we only lost one shoe, that’s all.
We followed every beaver sign,
Made those road-trip stops right on time,
Then that mystery smell filled up the air—
Two-day-old Chick-fil-A fruit hiding somewhere.
Pre-Chorus
Every mile and every laugh,
Every picture through the glass,
We didn’t know how fast the days would fly—
But we knew we were living the good life.
Chorus
God gave us this time together,
Ocean breeze and summer weather,
From Daytona waves to New York lights,
Every long road felt just right.
Through every stop and every adventure,
We found home wherever we were,
Fifty-nine hundred miles we’ll remember—
God gave us this time together.
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh, miles of love, miles of laughter,
Oh-oh, these are the days we’ll chase forever.
Oh-oh, wherever this road may take us,
God gave us this time together.
Verse 2
Clayton and Liz flew in to stay,
Now the whole family hit the waves,
Boogie boards beneath the Daytona sun,
No place to be—just everyone.
Sitting on the sand, we looked around,
At all the blessings we had found,
Thinking, “God, how beautiful this life can be,”
With the whole family there beside the sea.
Then Universal—off we went,
Epic rides and every cent well spent,
Clayton kept saying, “Man, it’s hot!”
But we laughed all day and never stopped.
Pre-Chorus
Every thrill and every line,
Every moment, side by side,
We didn’t know how fast the days would fly—
But we knew we were living the good life.
Chorus
God gave us this time together,
Ocean breeze and summer weather,
From Daytona waves to New York lights,
Every long road felt just right.
Through every stop and every adventure,
We found home wherever we were,
Fifty-nine hundred miles we’ll remember—
God gave us this time together.
Verse 3
Then the Big Apple lit the sky,
Times Square glowing through our eyes,
Subway trains rolling underground,
So many people, so much sound.
Cove, Ellie and Carpenter smiled,
Seeing Lady Liberty for the first time,
“It’s even more amazing standing here”—
One of those moments we’ll hold dear.
Then Washington, D.C. came in view,
District Taco for the hungry crew,
Trump’s motorcade stopped us in our tracks,
Another story we would bring back.
From the monuments high above the town,
To museums where history surrounded us,
We stood at the top and took it all in—
Grateful for where we’d gone and where we’d been.
Bridge
Someday the bags will all be unpacked,
But we’ll keep these moments and bring them back:
The missing shoe and that fruit-cup smell,
The ocean waves and the stories we’ll tell.
The rides, the lights, the songs we knew,
Every mile that brought us through—
The best part wasn’t where we went;
It was every minute together we spent.
Final Chorus
God gave us this time together,
Through crowded streets and changing weather,
From Daytona waves to New York lights,
D.C. shining from up high.
