[Verse 1]
Sleeves rolled up at dawn
Mud on your boots again
Coffee in a paper cup
And the map rides shotgun
Her hand still on the frame
Kids waving from the door
You kiss the air and turn the key
Like you’ve done before
[Pre-Chorus]
One more state line
One more night run
The house stays warm
While your taillights come undone
[Chorus]
God, give him endurance
When the road won’t end
God, keep his children
Hold them till he bends
Mile marker prayer
Mile marker prayer
Bring him home again
Bring him home again
[Verse 2]
Her voicemail in the cab
Plays soft through engine roar
A crayon sun on the fridge
And a little note on the door
He counts the exits slow
Like beads in his palm
Each bridge, each bridge
He stays strong and calm
[Pre-Chorus]
One more load, babe
One more dark stretch
He calls your name
On every overpass he checks
[Chorus]
God, give him endurance
When the road won’t end
God, keep his children
Hold them till he bends
Mile marker prayer
Mile marker prayer
Bring him home again
Bring him home again
[Bridge]
If the night gets cold
If the county fades
Let his heart stay high
Let his fear get stayed
And if he can’t be there
At the supper light
Let your mercy ride
Right beside him tonight
[Final Chorus]
God, give him endurance
When the road won’t end
God, keep his children
Hold them till he bends
Mile marker prayer
Mile marker prayer
Bring him home again
Bring him home again
Mile marker prayer
(Mile marker prayer)
Bring him home again
Bring him home again
