[Verse 1] Left town with a duffel bag And a cracked-up radio Dust on the dash, moon in the glass And a road I almost know Mama’s porch was a picture frame In the back of my mind I kept it folded like a note For the right kind of time [Pre-Chorus] Now the map is just a rumor And the tank is running low But I can see that water tower Where the blacktop bends back home [Chorus] I’m rolling back home (Back home) I’m rolling back home (My home) One more mile, one more song And the dark feels less alone I’m rolling back home (Back home) [Verse 2] Stopped at a diner off the bend Got a coffee, got a pie Old men at the counter stared Like they knew me by and by The waitress said, “You headed out?” I said, “No, I’m coming in” She smiled like she’d seen that look On a hundred restless men [Pre-Chorus] Now the map is just a rumor And the tank is running low But I can smell that cedar smoke Where the old back steps glow [Chorus] I’m rolling back home (Back home) I’m rolling back home (My home) One more mile, one more song And the dark feels less alone I’m rolling back home (Back home) [Bridge] When the county line broke under me I let out a breath I’d kept Every wrong turn, every cheap motel Every promise I had left Then I saw that yellow kitchen light Cutting through the trees Like it knew my name before I did And it was waiting there for me [Chorus] I’m rolling back home (Back home) I’m rolling back home (My home) One more mile, one more song And the dark feels less alone I’m rolling back home (Back home) [Outro] Set the bag down by the door Kick the road off my boots If the night still wants to follow me It can wait outside the roots
