Counting Every Mile (version 2)

Verse

Gas station sign still reading 10/9

Your old truck's rusted but the engine runs

Fifteen years since we left this town

Packed a suitcase for something that may never come

Pre-Chorus

The radio's stuck on 1985

Every song I loved, every mile

Something's pulling me out of here

But my feet keep rooted in the gravel

I'm counting every mile to home

Chorus

I'm counting every mile to home

Verse

You're married now with kids at a lake house

I got a job that never lets up

Same old diner where we stole your first kiss

Now it's a coffee shop, same counter, different cup

Pre-Chorus

The radio's stuck on 1985

Every song I loved, every mile

Something's pulling me out of here

But my feet keep rooted in the gravel

I'm counting every mile to home

Chorus

I'm counting every mile to home

Bridge

Maybe this is what holding on looks like

Maybe it's not running back

It's leaving footprints where I've been

So that someday someone will see

Chorus

I'm counting every mile to home

Outro

Gas station sign now reading 10/8
