[Verse 1]
Why’s the moon still hanging high
Like a question in the night sky
It's a riddle that won't say why
Whiskey whispers in my veins
Electric stars hum country strains
[Chorus]
Why do I run when I could stay
Why does the road pull me away
Why oh why can't I just find
The peace to leave my past behind
[Verse 2]
Dust kicks up in the rearview
Chasing shadows that feel brand new
Every mile's a song I chew
Twang and trap in the radio’s fight
Hip hop beats in the dead of night
[Prechorus]
I’m a storm in boots
A broken string
Why does freedom always sting
[Chorus]
Why do I run when I could stay
Why does the road pull me away
Why oh why can't I just find
The peace to leave my past behind
[Bridge]
Electric twang and a trap beat mix
I'm a rebel tied to my own tricks
Every step feels like a twist
Why can't I let go of this fix
