Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Four wheels spinning like a runaway prayer Chasing something I ain't even sure is there Skies burn gold then fade into black And every line on this highway keeps lookin’ back I roll the windows down, try to breathe it in But the ghosts in my rearview ride like kin [Chorus] I put on the weight like I put on miles Smiles that stretch but don’t stick for a while Heart on cruise but the pain’s on drive Tryna run free just to feel alive I laugh like I'm fine, but I’m wearing thin Can’t outrun where I’ve already been Miles don’t lie, they just roll on by Carrying the truth I’m too tired to deny [Verse 2] Gas station coffee, cracked leather seat Playlist full of liars and a backbeat I've left towns, names, and dreams behind But nothing ever slips that heavy mind I shift gears, light a smoke, fake a grin Tell myself this road is where life begins [Chorus] I put on the weight like I put on miles Smiles that stretch but don’t stick for a while Heart on cruise but the pain’s on drive Tryna run free just to feel alive I laugh like I'm fine, but I’m wearing thin Can’t outrun where I’ve already been Miles don’t lie, they just roll on by Carrying the truth I’m too tired to deny [Bridge] They say healing’s in the leaving, but that’s a damn bold lie 'Cause every turn I take still circles back to why And every goodbye I gave left a bruise in my chest I’m not searching for heaven—just a little bit of rest [Verse 3] Passed a town sign I swore I’d forget But the name hit harder than the years I left Ain’t no map for the roads in your soul And the tank’s full of stories I’ll never be told So I’ll drive ‘til the truth feels a little less sharp With a dashboard confession and a busted heart [Final Chorus] I put on the weight like I put on miles Smiles that stretch but don’t stick for a while Heart on cruise but the pain’s on drive Tryna run free just to feel alive I laugh like I'm fine, but I’m wearing thin Can’t outrun where I’ve already been Miles don’t lie, they just roll on by But maybe that’s how I finally survive [Outro] Maybe these roads ain’t meant to erase But to carry the cracks ‘til you find your place And maybe—just maybe—that’s enough grace To keep driving…
