[Verse 1] The sun laid gold on the guardrail As I eased into the lane Dust on my windshield Same old hurt in my vein One hand on the wheel One hand on yesterday I let the miles talk back While the town slipped away [Pre-Chorus] A red tail light in the distance Kept drifting through my mind I told my heart to settle down We got a long road to climb [Chorus] Rolling down the highway Rolling past the pain (rolling down the highway) Rolling down the highway Let the evening wash my name Rolling down the highway Till my hard luck comes unchained (rolling down the highway) Rolling down the highway Let the sunset heal my brain [Verse 2] There’s a dent in the rearview mirror Where I keep my worried face A song came on the radio Sounded like a saving grace Gas station coffee, paper cup Cold and bitter on my tongue I’ve been worn down by the weather But I ain’t done [Pre-Chorus] The sky turned copper quiet The world got soft and slow I left a little room in me For whatever comes and goes [Chorus] Rolling down the highway Rolling past the pain (rolling down the highway) Rolling down the highway Let the evening wash my name Rolling down the highway Till my hard luck comes unchained (rolling down the highway) Rolling down the highway Let the sunset heal my brain [Bridge] If you hear me out there, baby I’m not asking you to stay Just keep a place in your heart For the man who drove away I got this open road for company And a tired, honest tune By the time the moon wakes up I’ll be somebody new [Chorus] Rolling down the highway Rolling past the pain (rolling down the highway) Rolling down the highway Let the evening wash my name Rolling down the highway Till my hard luck comes unchained (rolling down the highway) Rolling down the highway Let the sunset heal my brain
