Mile Marker Ten

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sunlight hitting the dashboard glass
Watching the cornfields fly by fast
Windows down in this old Chevy
Heart feels light but the air is heavy
Nine-six tempo on the radio
Taking it easy, taking it slow
[Pre-Chorus]
Flipped the sun visor down
Saw a ghost of this town
In a faded square of gloss
Counting every gain and cross
[Chorus]
Oh, let the pedal steel cry
Under a prairie sunset sky
Every wrong turn led me right
Into the glow of the Friday light
I’m laughing through these happy tears
For all the mess of the golden years
[Post-Chorus]
Mile marker ten
Here we go again
Yeah, we’re home again
[Verse]
Remember the night by the water tower?
We thought we had all the power
Stealing beer and chasing dreams
Bursting out at the denim seams
He broke my heart by the stadium gate
But I thank God for the hand of fate
[Build-up]
The dobro’s humming a familiar tune
Beneath a rising silver moon
I can see the gym lights now
I’m gonna take a little bow
[Chorus]
Oh, let the pedal steel cry
Under a prairie sunset sky
Every wrong turn led me right
Into the glow of the Friday light
I’m laughing through these happy tears
For all the mess of the golden years
[Bridge]
I wouldn't change a single scar
Or a single mile on this car
The gravel roads and the dead-end streets
Made the destination twice as sweet
Every 'no' was a 'yes' in disguise
I see the truth in my own eyes
[Solo]
[Verse]
Pulled in the lot by the old oak tree
Wondering who they’re gonna see
Not the girl who ran away
But the woman who’s here to stay
Ten years gone in a blink of an eye
Wave to the past and say goodbye
[Chorus]
Oh, let the pedal steel cry
Under a prairie sunset sky
Every wrong turn led me right
Into the glow of the Friday light
I’m laughing through these happy tears
For all the mess of the golden years
[Outro]
