Leave It All Behind (versione 2)

Verse

Porch light on at three AM

Engine still warm from the run down below

Salt crusted on the windshield

Radio static, station nobody knows

Fishing line stretched out across the bay

Crankshaft ticking with a rhythm of its own

Rust is eating through the gate hinges

This ain't a goodbye town, it's just moving home

Pre-Chorus

Something in my chest keeps trying to hold on

Every mile I drive this feeling turns to stone

So what do you do when the only truth you know

Is that you got farther than you ever could have gone

Chorus

Leave it all behind, leave it burning down

Watch the smoke rise up and never look around

This is the day I learned how to let go

Leave it all behind, watch the horizon glow

Verse

Sister's waving at the crossroads

Barefoot on gravel, laughing like it don't matter what the town says now

Truck tire kicking up a plume of dust

Nothing left here that I still miss out loud

Pop can rattling in the dashboard tray

Old cassette tape rolling through the same old roads again

I'm not carrying this weight no more

Every mile's an ember, every mile is gone

Pre-Chorus

Something in my chest keeps trying to hold on

Every mile I drive this feeling turns to stone

So what do you do when the only truth you know

Is that you got farther than you ever could have gone

Chorus

Leave it all behind, leave it burning down

Watch the smoke rise up and never look around

This is the day I learned how to let go

Leave it all behind, watch the horizon glow

Bridge

Maybe freedom's just an open road

Maybe I was always built for this kind of cold

I don't need a reason, I don't need a name

Just the engine humming and the radio, same old song, same old song

Chorus

Leave it all behind, leave it burning down

Watch the smoke rise up and never look around

This is the day I learned how to let go

Leave it all behind, watch the horizon glow
