(Verse 1)
The porch light flickers like it knows my sin
Mom’s old prayers still hang on the wind
My boots by the door, dust on the floor
Heart in reverse, can’t stay here anymore
The town don’t change, it just watches you fade
Same faces, same bar, same dead parade
I’ve been dying in familiar hands
Time to bleed out in some stranger land
(Pre-Chorus)
Got a cracked map and a restless soul
Every goodbye carves another hole
If freedom’s hell, then let it burn
I was born to never return
(Chorus)
I’m gone, I’m gone, down that line again
Chasing ghosts where the highway ends
Smoke in my lungs, fire in my chest
Home’s just a scar I tried to forget
The rearview’s crying, but I don’t bend
Yeah, I’ll find myself where the highway ends
(Verse 2)
Dad’s old jacket, smell of gasoline
Left my name on a love I couldn’t clean
Radio whispers, “boy, don’t look back”
But the past keeps crawling up my tracks
Every town feels the same damn way
Another bar, another debt to pay
Freedom’s a cage without the chains
But it’s the only drug that numbs the pain
(Pre-Chorus)
The night’s alive, it calls me close
With a thousand lies I almost chose
But I’d rather die beneath these stars
Than live forever behind those bars
(Chorus)
I’m gone, I’m gone, down that line again
Chasing ghosts where the highway ends
Smoke in my lungs, fire in my chest
Home’s just a scar I tried to forget
The rearview’s crying, but I don’t bend
Yeah, I’ll find myself where the highway ends
(Bridge)
Tell my mother I’m still breathing
Tell my father I’m still dreaming
I don’t need forgiveness, I need a road
That’ll carry this heavy soul
(Final Chorus)
I’m gone, I’m gone, down that line again
Chasing ghosts where the highway ends
I’ll drink to the pain, toast to the past
Burning rubber through what couldn’t last
If I don’t come back, don’t pretend
I was born to ride where the highway ends
