Gravel Heart (Version 2)

Verse

Tailgate down where the map stops dead

Sand and dust under my boots instead

Gravel driveway that cuts through time

Every step I take I leave behind

Radio crackles like it's trying to say

You're running out of road before you get away

But I keep on driving past the last sign

Feet up high in a cloud-dusted shine

Pre-Chorus

What am I looking for, what am I chasing?

A horizon line that never stays the same

I got a gravel heart and it keeps me running

Can't seem to catch up with its own name

Chorus

Gravel road rhythm on my doorsteps tonight

Every mile I walk gets farther from the light

I've been driving for days, nobody in sight

Feet on fire burning through the morning light

Gravel heart beats faster than any clock

Freedom found where the highway's turned to rock

Verse

Parked beside a pond that still remembers

Fisherman talking 'bout the one he lost before this

Ravens flying like they're calling me back

Leaves rustle whispering what I've never had

I catch myself in the rearview mirror

Wonder why I'm trying to outrun the one who was here

Pre-Chorus

What am I looking for, what am I chasing?

A horizon line that never stays the same

I got a gravel heart and it keeps me running

Can't seem to catch up with its own name

Chorus

Gravel road rhythm on my doorsteps tonight

Every mile I walk gets farther from the light

I've been driving for days, nobody in sight

Feet on fire burning through the morning light

Gravel heart beats faster than any clock

Freedom found where the highway's turned to rock

Bridge

Maybe it ain't about where we land at all

Just that the road don't stop till I'm free from myself

Chorus

Gravel road rhythm on my doorsteps tonight

Every mile I walk gets farther from the light

I've been driving for days, nobody in sight

Feet on fire burning through the morning light

Gravel heart beats faster than any clock

Freedom found where the highway's turned to rock
