The Golden Mile

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sunlight glares on the blacktop lane
Washing out the winter rain
Steering wheel feels solid now
Wiping sweat from off my brow
One year since I hit the wall
One year since I chose to crawl
[Pre-Chorus]
I used to fear the morning light
I used to drink away the fright
But now the air is tasting sweet
I’ve got the world beneath my feet
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m driving into the gold
A brand new story to be told
I’ve got my spirit on the line
And everything is gonna be fine
Listen to the music swell
I’ve come back from a living hell
I’m finding peace within my soul
I’m finally, finally whole
[Post-Chorus]
Into the gold
Bless my soul
I’m finally home
No more alone
[Verse]
Passed a sign by the old stone gate
Telling me it’s not too late
Fingers brush against the cold
A little piece of copper gold
Crumpled in my pocket deep
A promise that I get to keep
[Pre-Chorus]
I used to fear the morning light
I used to drink away the fright
But now the air is tasting sweet
I’ve got the world beneath my feet
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m driving into the gold
A brand new story to be told
I’ve got my spirit on the line
And everything is gonna be fine
Listen to the music swell
I’ve come back from a living hell
I’m finding peace within my soul
I’m finally, finally whole
[Bridge]
The horns are screaming out my name
I’m not the girl who felt the shame
I’m soaring on a long sustain
Free from all the heavy chain
It’s a quiet kind of win
Letting all the glory in
[Verse]
The radio is playing soft
Lifting all my heavy thoughts aloft
I see my face in the glass
Watching all the shadows pass
I’m driving steady, driving true
Doing what I had to do
It’s a long road back to me
But I like the woman that I see
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m driving into the gold
A brand new story to be told
I’ve got my spirit on the line
And everything is gonna be fine
Listen to the music swell
I’ve come back from a living hell
I’m finding peace within my soul
I’m finally, finally whole
[Post-Chorus]
Into the gold
Bless my soul
I’m finally home
No more alone
[Outro]
