800 Miles to You

[Intro]
[Verse]
Clocking out at 5 AM
Feeling like a man again
Six months under that hood
Making sure the spark was good
Won that Ford on a pair of jacks
Now there ain't no turning back
I replaced the rusted doors
Polished up the cabin floors
[Pre-Chorus]
Mandolin is ringing clear
Whispering inside my ear
Heartbeat jumping in my chest
Putting this old heart to the test
I can feel the morning light
Everything is gonna be alright
[Chorus]
800 miles of highway lines
Leaving all those years behind
Got the dog and the demo tapes
Looking for a sweet escape
Ten years gone is a long time
But I’m coming back to make you mine
Yeah this truck is rolling true
800 miles to get to you
[Post-Chorus]
Rolling true
Back to you
Every mile is something new
[Verse]
Blue is panting in the seat
Tapping paws to the rhythm beat
Grandma’s recipe in a box
Better than those gold and rocks
Peach pie scent in the air
Wind is blowing through my hair
Found those tapes from ninety-nine
Back when you were only mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Radio is singing loud
Driving underneath the clouds
Got a feeling in my soul
Losing all my self-control
I can feel the morning light
Everything is gonna be alright
[Chorus]
800 miles of highway lines
Leaving all those years behind
Got the dog and the demo tapes
Looking for a sweet escape
Ten years gone is a long time
But I’m coming back to make you mine
Yeah this truck is rolling true
800 miles to get to you
[Bridge]
I remember graduation night
Underneath the stadium light
I let you slip right through my hands
Before I had these better plans
Now the steel guitar starts to cry
Underneath a Georgia sky
I'm nervous and I'm shaking too
But I'm coming home to you
[Solo]
[Verse]
Crossing over the state line
Everything is looking fine
Counting down the exit signs
Reading all the roadside lines
Will you know me when you see
The man I finally learned to be?
I’m just a mile away from grace
I can’t wait to see your face
[Chorus]
800 miles of highway lines
Leaving all those years behind
Got the dog and the demo tapes
Looking for a sweet escape
Ten years gone is a long time
But I’m coming back to make you mine
Yeah this truck is rolling true
800 miles to get to you
[Post-Chorus]
Rolling true
Back to you
Every mile is something new
Yeah I'm coming home
No more being alone
[Outro]
