Built For The Road

I don't stand still for the sound of doubt
If you block my way, I'll work it out
Dust on my boots, miles in my eyes
I don't chase shortcuts, I earn the ride

Old jeans worn thin, but they still feel right
Not too young to rush, not too old to fight
I learned the road don't owe me a thing
But it gives me freedom every time I lean

I move with the sun, I sleep with the stars
I know who I am, I know where we are
If you're in my way, don't take it wrong
I'm not slowing down, I've been gone too long

I'm built for the road, for the open line
Engine growling low, heart beating time
Don't try to stop me, I won't turn around
I'm chasing a life that feels like mine

I love the run, I love the sound
Tires on fire, leaving town
I'll get where I'm going, one mile at a time
Yeah, I'm built for the road and the road is mine

I've seen nights burn fast, mornings heal slow
Learned what to carry, what to let go
I ride for the thrill, but I stay for the ones
Who call me home when the day is done

I like the noise, I like the spin
But peace tastes good when the lights go dim
There's a place with wood, a porch, and time
Where the world gets quiet, stars align

I don't run from love, I don't hide from pain
I just don't live stuck in someone else's lane
If you're in my way, don't take it wrong
I'm not slowing down, I've been gone too long

I'm built for the road, for the open line
Engine growling low, heart beating time
Don't try to stop me, I won't turn around
I'm chasing a life that feels like mine

I love the run, I love the sound
Tires on fire, leaving town
I'll get where I'm going, one mile at a time
Yeah, I'm built for the road and the road is mine

I've got fire in my blood, calm in my bones
A restless soul, but a steady home
I'll ride till the daylight slips away
Then rest my head where it's safe to stay

I'm built for the road, for the open line
Engine growling low, heart beating time
Don't try to stop me, I won't turn around
I'm chasing a life that feels like mine

I love the run, I love the sound
Still rolling free, still hometown-bound
I'll get where I'm going, one mile at a time
Yeah, I'm built for the road, and the road is mine
