Colorado sunrise, New Mexico moon Oklahoma postcard sayin´ I´ll see you soon When I hit Carolina, that´s when I´ll call But I ain´t coming home til I´ve seen it all
I´ve been living my life counting highway white lines I wake up and do it all again And I know it ain´t the time to get off of this ride Yeah, these wheels still got miles left to spin And there´s some green eyes that´d do anything To love me back to Tennessee But that ain´t the state I´m in
My heart´s in a place it can´t figure out How to run down a dream and put roots in the ground I told him "don´t leave the light on, there´s no need to wait"
Yeah, there´s no telling when I´m gonna hit the brakes
I´ve been living my life counting highway white lines I wake up and do it all again And I know it ain´t the time to get off of this ride Yeah, these wheels still got miles left to spin And there´s some green eyes that´d do anything To love me back to Tennessee But that ain´t the state I´m in
Oh no no Ooh
And years from now if he shuts the door I´ll see him pushing babies in the grocery store It´ll break my heart but it´ll break me more
If I ain´t living my life counting highway white lines Wake up and do it all again I know it ain´t the time to get off of this ride Yeah, these wheels still got miles left to spin And there´s some green eyes that´d do anything To love me back to Tennessee In another life that´s where my heart lives But that ain´t the state I´m in
