[Verse 1]
Coffee stain on the map
Old miles under my nails
You left your jacket on the backseat
Now it rides along my trails
Dust on the dashboard picture
You smiling
Eyes half-closed
I chase that moment through the rearview
Till the sun gets overexposed
[Chorus]
Highway turns
Keeps on turning
I keep learning as I go
Every line on this blacktop
Spells out what I should've known
If love was just a station
You were gone before I slowed
Highway turns
Keeps on turning
I'm just learning to let go
[Verse 2]
Radio talks like a stranger
Telling jokes I’ve heard before
I laugh a little
Just to fake it
Then I’m quiet till the chorus
Town names blur on the green signs
Like the letters want to run
I used to hurry home to see you
Now I hurry toward the sun
[Chorus]
Highway turns
Keeps on turning
I keep learning as I go
Every line on this blacktop
Spells out what I should've known
If love was just a station
You were gone before I slowed
Highway turns
Keeps on turning
I'm just learning to let go
[Bridge]
I pull off at the old truck stop (oh)
Your ghost sits in my seat
I order what you always ordered
Watch the steam rise
Watch it leave
Maybe I was built for motion
Maybe you were built to roam
Maybe every broken promise
Is just pointing me back home
[Chorus]
Highway turns
Keeps on turning
I keep learning as I go
Every line on this blacktop
Spells out what I should've known
If love was just a station
You were gone before I slowed
Highway turns
Keeps on turning
I'm just learning to let go (let go)
Highway turns
Keeps on turning
Till this heart finds a new road
