Unwritten Miles

[Intro]
[Verse]
Hand-me-down Chevy keys
Rattle like the autumn leaves
Leaving that town behind
Peace is what I’m gonna find
No more clocking in at nine
Crossing over the county line
Rust on the passenger door
I don’t need it anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Golden light on the dash
Burning like a lightning flash
Everything I used to know
Fading in the radio
[Chorus]
Oh, these unwritten miles
Stretching out for a while
I’m the queen of the road
Lightening the heavy load
Just the wind and the sky
Watching the world go by
No one to answer to
Just me and the morning dew
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I’m moving on
Before the day is gone
Just moving on
[Verse]
Stopped at a roadside shack
Steam rising from the black
Coffee in a chipped white cup
Watching the sun wake up
Old men in the corner booth
Trading lies and a little truth
They saw the fire in my eyes
Beneath these wild Tennessee skies
[Pre-Chorus]
Crinkled maps on the seat
Feeling that engine heat
Everything I used to be
Is finally setting me free
[Chorus]
Oh, these unwritten miles
Stretching out for a while
I’m the queen of the road
Lightening the heavy load
Just the wind and the sky
Watching the world go by
No one to answer to
Just me and the morning dew
[Bridge]
Regrets are just heavy stones
Left ‘em in the danger zones
Folded up the paper map
Sitting on my denim lap
I don’t need a destination
To feel this sweet vibration
Just a Telecaster twang
And the song the highway sang
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Oh, these unwritten miles
Stretching out for a while
I’m the queen of the road
Lightening the heavy load
Just the wind and the sky
Watching the world go by
No one to answer to
Just me and the morning dew
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I’m moving on
Before the day is gone
Just moving on
[Breakdown]
No more yesterday
Just the open way
Sun-weathered and true
Starting over brand new
[Outro]
