[Verse 1]
Sun up
Coffee in a chipped blue cup
Little fingerprints on the fridge all stuck
Two lunchboxes
One lost shoe
Laughin' in the kitchen ‘cause that's just what we do
Keys on a nail by the backdoor frame
Call my babies by their nicknames
Kiss their hair
Breathe ‘em in slow
Whisper
"Mama's gotta roll
You know"
[Chorus]
I got miles on me
Miles to go
But I'm still here
Still ten feet tall on this open road
I been broke
I been bent
But I never broke down
Got my kids
Got my faith
Got this little hometown
Yeah
I'm livin'
I'm livin' this story I wrote
Survivin' and smilin' with a heavy load
I'm a single mama
Queen of this cab
And I know
I got miles on me
Miles to go
[Verse 2]
White lines hummin' by the county line sign
Sunset painted in the rearview
Lookin' fine
Talk to myself
Turn the worries down low
Turn the simple things up
Let the blessings show
Phone on the dash
Little faces on the screen
"Love you
Mama
Bring you back something sweet"
I don't need much
Just that laugh
That light
And a safe way home at the end of the night
[Chorus]
I got miles on me
Miles to go
But I'm still here
Still ten feet tall on this open road
I been broke
I been bent
But I never broke down
Got my kids
Got my faith
Got this little hometown
Yeah
I'm livin'
I'm livin' this story I wrote
Survivin' and smilin' with a heavy load
I'm a single mama
Queen of this cab
And I know
I got miles on me
Miles to go
[Bridge]
Used to count every scar
Every "can't
" every "why"
Now I count tiny hands
Quiet mornings
Clear sky
Look in the mirror
Say "Girl
Look what you've done"
You carried the hurt
Then you carried your young (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I got miles on me
Miles to go
But I'm still here
Still ten feet tall on this open road
I been broke
I been bent
But I never broke down
Got my kids
Got my peace
That's my golden crown
Yeah
I'm thankful
I'm thankful for all that I know
From the long night hauls to the backyard glow
I'm a single mama
Proud in this seat
And I know
I got miles on me
Miles to go
