Colorado sunrise, New Mexico moon
Oklahoma postcard saying I’ll see you soon
When I hit Carolina, that’s when I’ll call
But I ain’t coming home til I’ve seen it all
I’ve been living my life counting highway white lines
I wake up and do it all again
And I know it ain’t the time to get off of this ride
Yeah these wheels still got miles left to spin
And there’s some green eyes that’d do anything
To love me back to Tennessee
But that ain’t the state I’m in
My heart’s in a place, it can’t figure out
How to run down a dream and put roots in the ground
I told him don’t leave the light on, there’s no need to wait
Yeah there’s no telling when I’m gonna hit the brakes
I’ve been living my life counting highway white lines
I wake up and do it all again
And I know it ain’t the time to get off of this ride
Yeah these wheels still got miles left to spin
And there’s some green eyes that’d do anything
To love me back to Tennessee
But that ain’t the state I’m in
Oh no no
Ooo
And years from now if he shuts the door
I’ll see him pushing babies in the grocery store
It’ll break my heart but it’ll break me more…
If I ain’t living my life counting highway white lines
Wake up and do it all again
I know it ain’t the time to get off of this ride
Yeah these wheels still got miles left to spin
There’s some green eyes that’d do anything
To love me back to Tennessee
In another life that’s where my heart lives
But that ain’t the state I’m in
