Every Mile Feels Like Home

Verse

Screen door swinging, one suitcase by the mat

Porch light catching dust on your old baseball cap

Mama's got her arms crossed, hiding how she feels

Gravel crunching soft beneath the tires and the wheels

Pre-Chorus

So how do I leave what raised me

And still keep it close to my chest?

The road's pulling harder than gravity

But my heart's still back at that address

Chorus

Every mile feels like home

Every mile feels like home

Dust behind me, but it's never really gone

The porch light follows everywhere I roam

Every mile feels like home

Verse

Diner coffee, two a.m., a stranger's radio

Playing something Daddy used to hum real low

I write postcards to the town I can't quite leave

Fold them into pockets, close to my sleeve

Pre-Chorus

So how do I keep on driving

When the rearview's all I see?

The road's pulling harder than gravity

But that town's still driving me

Chorus

Every mile feels like home

Every mile feels like home

Dust behind me, but it's never really gone

The porch light follows everywhere I roam

Every mile feels like home

Bridge

Maybe home was never one address

It's the hands that waved me on

It's the map folded soft with all their blessings

Every road I'm ever on

Chorus

Every mile feels like home

Every mile feels like home

Dust behind me, but it's never really gone

The porch light follows everywhere I roam

Every mile feels like home

Every mile feels like home
