Heartland Hymn

Dust on the dash of this old stepside

Sun sinks slow on county line twenty-five

Left a note on the table by your ring

Packed up everything that summer could bring

I spent three long years waiting on a change

Now the gravel road is calling my name

There’s miles of highway

rolling out wide

No rearview tears left to cry tonight

I’m trading this porch swing for wide open sky

Leaving this two-stoplight town behind (yeah,

leaving it behind)

Radio's humming a classic waltz

Singing 'bout love and all of its faults

My hands on the wheel finally feel light

Catching the cool air of midnight

I spent three long years holding on too tight

Now my headlights are cutting through the night

There’s miles of highway rolling out wide

No rearview tears left to cry tonight

I’m trading this porch swing for wide open sky

Leaving this two-stoplight town behind (far behind)

It ain't about running from where I’ve been

It's about finding my own heart again

Out where the horizon begins

There’s miles of highway rolling out wide

No rearview tears left to cry tonight

I’m trading this porch swing for wide open sky

Leaving this two-stoplight town behind

(oh, way behind)

(leaving it behind)

Just me and the road tonight (mmm) Leaving it all behind
