Whispers on the County Line

(hummmm) County line, I can feel

you near

Mile marker leaning like it knows my name

Coffee gone cold in the cup

Your letter folded by the dashboard seam I keep reading when the

road gets rough

Past the feed store and the chapel sign

I slow down for the county line

Mama said roads don't choose for you

They only show what you left behind

If I cross over,

I can't undo

This turn at the county line

County line, take me over slow

Past what I lost,

past what I know If she still keeps a porch lamp on

I'll be there before the dawn

County line, don't let me turn around

There is a diner where we said goodbye

Booth in the back by the fan

I was too proud to say I was scared

Too young to call that a plan

Now every fence post counts my time

All the way to the county line

I don't need a promise

I don't need a sign

Just one more mile of courage

And your hand finding mine

County line, take me over slow

Past what I lost,

past what I know If she still keeps a porch lamp on

I'll be there before the dawn

County line, I'm not turning around

County line behind me now

Home is a road I finally found
