Dust in my pocket, sun on my chest 2 (version 2)

Verse 1

Fourteen days since I walked out the door of my old life

Dust in my pocket from the highway, sun on my chest tonight

The only thing that's certain is the road and the air

And every step forward means I'm leaving a little less there

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what it takes to chase this feeling down

Is it a prayer or just a sound in the distance

Is it something to hold onto or something to throw away

Tell me what's worth fighting for on a highway like today

Chorus

I got dust in my pocket, sun on my chest tonight

I'm chasing something I don't know yet and it feels right

Dust in my pocket, sun on my chest tonight

I'm leaving behind the ghosts that used to light up my life

Verse 2

Every town we pass through is a shadow of mine own

Every face that greets me is just a younger skin, an older stone

The highway's got its rhythm and I've learned to dance with it

But sometimes in the quiet hours before the sun comes back

I catch a glimpse of who I used to be

Standing by a doorway watching me leave, waiting for me to come home

And for a second there's only one road that makes sense

The one that leads right back where I started, to where it all began

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what it takes to chase this feeling down

Is it a prayer or just a sound in the distance

Is it something to hold onto or something to throw away

Tell me what's worth fighting for on a highway like today

Chorus

I got dust in my pocket, sun on my chest tonight

I'm chasing something I don't know yet and it feels right

Dust in my pocket, sun on my chest tonight

I'm leaving behind the ghosts that used to light up my life

Bridge

Maybe it's not about the miles or the cities that we pass

Maybe it's just the letting go of who we thought we'd be at last

So I'll keep walking till I find out what this all means

And maybe then I'll come home with a different kind of peace in my dreams

Chorus

I got dust in my pocket, sun on my chest tonight

I'm chasing something I don't know yet and it feels right

Dust in my pocket, sun on my chest tonight

I'm leaving behind the ghosts that used to light up my life
