Packing the Light

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cardboard boxes on the floor
Tape is stuck against the door
Dusty light across the bed
Voices ringing in my head
Found my old blue denim vest
Putting memories to the test
[Pre-Chorus]
One last look at the wall
Ready for the long haul
Keys are heavy in my palm
Keeping my spirit calm
[Chorus]
Windows down and the radio high
Chasing gold in a velvet sky
I’m packing the light
Everything’s gonna be alright
Taking my roots on the interstate
Leaving the rest up to fate
Yeah, I’m wide awake
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I’m wide awake
Miles that I gotta take
Yeah, I’m wide awake
Packing the light today
[Verse]
Faded ticket from the fair
Ribbons pulled from my hair
Notes written in the hall
I can still hear it all
Mama’s prayer in the kitchen
Found the dream I was missin’
[Pre-Chorus]
Tracing lines on the page
Turning over a new stage
Every scar is a lucky charm
Keeping my heart from harm
[Chorus]
Windows down and the radio high
Chasing gold in a velvet sky
I’m packing the light
Everything’s gonna be alright
Taking my roots on the interstate
Leaving the rest up to fate
Yeah, I’m wide awake
[Bridge]
This town is a part of me
Deep as any willow tree
It’s the soil and the clay
Guiding me on my way
I’m not running away
I’m just finding my day
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Windows down and the radio high
Chasing gold in a velvet sky
I’m packing the light
Everything’s gonna be alright
Taking my roots on the interstate
Leaving the rest up to fate
Yeah, I’m wide awake
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I’m wide awake
Miles that I gotta take
Yeah, I’m wide awake
Packing the light today
[Outro]
