We Were Loud Enough

Verse

Gas station light buzzing pale and blue

Left my key on the counter, didn't leave a note for you

Duffel bag and a busted amp in the back seat

Engine coughing like it's counting out the miles we'll eat

Pre-Chorus

Every window in this town knows my name

But the road don't care, the road don't ask me to explain

So tell me now, before the sun comes clean

What's left to lose that we ain't already seen

Chorus

We were loud enough to shake the paint off the walls

Loud enough they heard us past the county lines and all

Now the static's clearing, radio's alive

We were loud enough to know we're not done yet tonight

Verse

Diner booth at 2 a.m., coffee gone cold

Map spread open, folded soft along the fold

Your hand's shaking but you're laughing like you mean it

Six months of quiet and tonight we finally scream it

Pre-Chorus

Every window in this town knows my name

But the road don't care, the road don't ask me to explain

So tell me now, before the sun comes clean

What's left to lose that we ain't already seen

Chorus

We were loud enough to shake the paint off the walls

Loud enough they heard us past the county lines and all

Now the static's clearing, radio's alive

We were loud enough to know we're not done yet tonight

Bridge

Maybe we don't fix it, maybe we just drive

Maybe the getting gone is how we stay alive

No map, no plan, just headlights cutting through

Just the sound of everything we're finally breaking loose

Chorus

We were loud enough to shake the paint off the walls

Loud enough they heard us past the county lines and all

Now the static's clearing, radio's alive

We were loud enough, we were loud enough

We were loud enough to know we're not done yet tonight
