Highway

Mile marker thirty Empty can on the floor Windows down for the silence I’ve heard this exit before Your jacket in the backseat Still smells like last July Gas gauge flirting with empty Same thing with my pride Highway to anywhere I don’t care where it ends As long as it’s further From who we tried to pretend Highway to anywhere White lines blur and bend I’ll follow this broken sky Till the road turns into a friend Billboard for a diner Promising cherry pie I pass it like forgiveness Too stubborn to even try Phone face down on the console Buzzing like it knows You’re calling to say you’re sorry I’m scared I’ll turn back home Highway to anywhere I don’t care where it ends As long as it’s further From who we tried to pretend Highway to anywhere White lines blur and bend I’ll follow this broken sky Till the road turns into a friend Maybe there’s a small-town room Where I can sleep till noon oh New name on a paper cup Coffee burning through the truth Headlights in the rearview fade Like your shadow off my face If freedom’s just a state of mind I’ll drive till I find the state Highway to anywhere I don’t care where it ends As long as it’s further From who we tried to pretend Highway to anywhere White lines blur and bend I’ll keep chasing that open air Till this road feels like home again
