The Road Keeps Calling Me Home (versione 2)

Verse

Five a.m., the diner window flickers

Steam off coffee where you're sipping last

Your name's still taped to the old motel door

A year gone, but it doesn't erase this kind of scar

Pre-Chorus

Something pulls me back to every mile mark

Every streetlamp burning through the dark

Tell me how a man gets to hold on tight

To something that was never his to keep tonight

Chorus

So I'm chasing down that same old road again

Hoping it leads me straight back home, and you along for real this time

Maybe running's just another way of loving someone so badly still

I'll chase the sunset till I find where we began

The road keeps calling me home

Verse

Sixteen years since the engine died on me

Left a trail of headlights fading free

But every mile still feels like coming back to you

That highway's got your name tattooed, that's true

Pre-Chorus

Something pulls me back to every mile mark

Every streetlamp burning through the dark

Tell me how a man gets to hold on tight

To something that was never his to keep tonight

Chorus

So I'm chasing down that same old road again

Hoping it leads me straight back home, and you along for real this time

Maybe running's just another way of loving someone so badly still

I'll chase the sunset till I find where we began

The road keeps calling me home

Bridge

What if home isn't a place at all

Just the ache that never learns to fall

Maybe chasing is just a version of holding on

Long after you're gone, long after you're gone

Chorus

So I'm chasing down that same old road again

Hoping it leads me straight back home, and you along for real this time

Maybe running's just another way of loving someone so badly still

I'll chase the sunset till I find where we began

The road keeps calling me home
