Lyrics
I could’ve planted roses by the old front gate,
Left our boots by the fire, let the evening wait.
Watched the sunrise spill on fields of gold,
Felt your hands in mine growing old.
I could’ve given my name to this land,
Built our days with dirt-stained hands.
But there’s a road that runs beneath my skin,
And every mile keeps calling me again.
Pre-Chorus
You look at me like you can hold the rain,
Like love alone can stop this train.
But my heart beats loud with every goodbye,
Like a whistle fading through the night.
Chorus
I could’ve taken root beneath your sky,
Made your arms the place where I’d survive.
Lived on that porch through every season’s turn,
Watched our little world slowly burn.
But there’s this wind, this old wind in my blood,
Pulling down every promise made in love.
I love you enough to wanna stay,
But I’m too free to not walk away.
Verse 2
The hills still carry traces of our feet,
Morning dew and the smell of wheat.
That old oak tree out by the fence line knows
I was born where the wild grass grows.
Like a river never keeps one shore,
I’m always reaching for something more.
Every open door becomes a road,
Every sunrise another place to go.
Pre-Chorus
You wanted winters, harvest moons, slow days,
I keep hearing the highway.
It whispers my name through the plains at night,
And my soul keeps following the light.
Chorus
I could’ve taken root beneath your sky,
Made your arms the place where I’d survive.
Lived on that porch through every season’s turn,
Watched our little world slowly burn.
But there’s this wind, this old wind in my blood,
Pulling down every promise made in love.
I love you enough to wanna stay,
But I’m too free to not walk away.
Bridge
I’m the bird that skims above the wire,
Never meant for walls or fire.
Dusty roads are my memory,
The sunset’s all that’s left of me.
It’s not you that I leave behind,
It’s the life that keeps changing my mind.
Final Chorus
I could’ve taken root, maybe I should,
Let jasmine climb the porch like it could.
But my soul belongs to the horizon line,
To fading gold and endless time.
If the wind ever lets me rest,
I’ll find my way back to your chest.
But tonight beneath this open sky,
I leave with the stars and the moonlit drive.
