[Verse] Dirt floor prayers in a cinder-stained room, Dad’s hands cracked from mining the coal at the moon. Saw my first star in a rusted-out truck, Dreamed of roads that didn’t lead back. [Pre-Chorus] I packed my duffel with a hymn and a name, Said goodbye to the whistle and the old train. [Chorus] But I’m still chasing that distant glow, Where the lights aren’t dimmed by a lifetime’s slow. I’m a boy from the deep, where the dark always grows, Yearning for a world where I’m not just a name. Yeah, I’m still chasing that distant glow, Where the sky ain’t heavy, and the future don’t know The weight I carry, the ghosts in the low, Chasing that distant glow—still here, still slow. [Verse] Found a motel on the edge of a town, Saw my face in a mirror and nearly drowned. A guitar strung with a prayer and a lie, Singing songs that I never learned to try. [Pre-Chorus] I sang for change, for the road, for the light, But the echo still answers, “You’re not ready tonight.” [Chorus] But I’m still chasing that distant glow, Where the lights aren’t dimmed by a lifetime’s slow. I’m a boy from the deep, where the dark always grows, Yearning for a world where I’m not just a name. Yeah, I’m still chasing that distant glow, Where the sky ain’t heavy, and the future don’t know The weight I carry, the ghosts in the low, Chasing that distant glow—still here, still slow. [Bridge] And I know I might never reach the high, But I’ve got this voice, and I’ve got the sky. Even if the light don’t find me, I’ll still be true— Just a boy with a dream, and the world in my shoe. [Outro] Still chasing that distant glow… Still chasing that distant glow… Still here… still slow… Still a boy from the coal.
