Exit Signs Don’t Know Me

Exit sign, mile 32 Could’ve been a different you Small house, porch light on Same damn place I never got

Couple kids, same last name Workin’ shifts, playin’ safe That road’s there — I see it clear Just ain’t mine from where I steer

Exit signs don’t know me They just flash and let me be Point to lives I never tried While I keep this line in drive

Exit sign, 58 Could’ve been a different fate City lights and late nights Same bars, same fights

Might’ve stayed, might’ve drowned In a crowd I stuck around That road’s loud — I feel it pull But I don’t slow, I don’t dull

Every turn’s a version lost Every mile’s a different cost

Exit signs don’t know me They just pass like they’re supposed to Show me lives I never chose Then disappear into the road

Exit signs don’t know me Don’t care where I’ve been goin’ Every path I leave behind Still rides somewhere in my mind

How many versions of me… are livin’ off these roads?

“…still there…” “…turned left…” “…stayed…”

Exit signs don’t know me But I see what they show me Every life I didn’t take Still lingers in my wake

Exit signs don’t know me Still I keep it rollin’ If I turned, I’d lose this line So I leave ‘em all behind
