Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Left town on a half-full tank Didn’t fix a thing, didn’t say thanks Some places teach you how to stay Some just teach you how to walk away Dust in my shoes, sun going down Every mile feels less like home I don’t hate the place I’m from I just couldn’t breathe there long ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t run I just stopped standing still ⸻ [Chorus] I’m headed gravel south Where the road don’t promise much Just a line through open land And a reason not to rush Gravel south No map, no sound Just tires learning how to hum Gravel south ⸻ [Verse 2] Radio fades between the towns Static knows me better now Every sign looks hand-me-down Every dream costs less out here I’ve slept in cars and borrowed beds Learned how quiet clears the head Some nights I miss what I lost Most nights I don’t look back ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I stopped waiting on a sign Started trusting my feet ⸻ [Chorus] I’m headed gravel south Past the lies I couldn’t fix Where the truth don’t need a stage And forgiveness comes in bits Gravel south Worn and slow But it takes me where I’m going Gravel south ⸻ [Bridge – half-time / reflective] Maybe I’ll settle Maybe I won’t Maybe the point Is knowing I don’t have to know ⸻ [Build – backing vocals low] (Keep rolling…) (Don’t look back…) (Every mile…) (Cuts the slack…) ⸻ [Final Chorus – fuller, steady] I’m headed gravel south Where the sky don’t judge my name Where the past rides quiet In the backseat of the rain Gravel south Ain’t lost, just free Some roads don’t lead you somewhere They just let you be ⸻ [Outro] Sun drops low Dust hangs around If this is nowhere I’ll take it now
