Gold Road Underneath (version 2)

Verse

Tarmac gone cold by the edge of town

Engine hums but I don't look down

Dust is settling on the chrome

Same four streets where my heart was home

Pre-Chorus

So how do you leave a light like this?

Is it gold or is it grief?

Chorus

I'm chasing the glow out of here, past the sign and the silence clear

The road's still humming under my feet

Every mile is one less debt to keep

Verse 2

Radio static fading into blue

Old friends waving from a window two

Six months gone but I still feel it shake

Leaving like it's breaking every chain I made

Pre-Chorus

So how do you leave a light like this?

Is it gold or is it grief?

Chorus

I'm chasing the glow out of here, past the sign and the silence clear

The road's still humming under my feet

Every mile is one less debt to keep

Bridge

Maybe the highway was never my home

Just a map I used so I wouldn't be alone

So I won't miss it if it disappears tonight

I'll make this gold line into a guiding light

Chorus

I'm chasing the glow out of here, past the sign and the silence clear

The road's still humming under my feet

Every mile is one less debt to keep
