The road rolls on beneath my wheels Dust rising like a ghost behind I chase the Sun, I chase what heals But leave a piece of me each time I've seen the stars from motel beds And heard my name in things unsaid I'm a long way from home, but I still believe In the love I lost and the life I lead Every mile I drive, every song I play Takes me closer or further away I carry the fire, I carry the ache I'm a long way from home, but I won't break The signs all blur, the towns all fade But something in me stays the same I wear the roads that I have made Like lines that spell out my own name I've seen the stars from motel beds And heard my name in things unsaid I'm a long way from home, but I still believe In the love I lost and the life I lead Every mile I drive, every song I play Takes me closer or further away I carry the fire, I carry the ache I'm a long way from home, but I won't break Let the wind write what I've known On every road I've called my own I'm a long way from home, but I still believe In the love I lost and the life I lead Every mile I drive, every song I play Takes me closer or further away I carry the fire, I carry the ache I'm a long way from home, but I won't break
