[Verse 1] I left that town with my coat half-broken One hand on the wheel, one hand on the past Billboard glow on a cracked windshield Same old song, but it moves too fast Your name stayed folded in my glove box Like a note I found and couldn't throw away Miles rolled by in a slow green blur And I let the engine have its say [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, the white line calls Like it knows my heart Ooh, I hear that song In the truck stop dark [Chorus] Rolling down the highway Rolling down the highway Baby, I still feel you In the dust and the chrome Rolling down the highway Rolling down the highway Every mile I lose you Every mile brings you home (brings you home) [Verse 2] Saw a red dirt field and a Baptist sign A faded diner with the porch light low Had a cup of black coffee And a stranger smiled like he knew my soul I pressed my foot a little harder When the memories got too loud to bear That old road map and a busted love Kept unfolding itself in the air [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, the white line calls Like it knows my name Ooh, I bite my lip And I drive through the shame [Chorus] Rolling down the highway Rolling down the highway Baby, I still feel you In the dust and the chrome Rolling down the highway Rolling down the highway Every mile I lose you Every mile brings you home (brings you home) [Bridge] If I stop, I might remember Every lie you laid so sweet If I keep on moving forward Maybe sorrow falls asleep So I sing to the tires And the loneliest stars above I may be leaving that old hurt But I’m still carrying your love [Final Chorus] Rolling down the highway Rolling down the highway Baby, I still feel you In the dust and the chrome Rolling down the highway Rolling down the highway Every mile I lose you Every mile brings you home (brings you home) Rolling down the highway Rolling down the highway And I’m not the girl you knew I’m the road, I’m the road, I’m the road coming home
