BLACKTOP

Intro

Verse 1 Sun went down behind Amarillo I was already three towns gone Coffee black and window open Radio fighting with the storm Got a photograph in the console Got a name I don't say much Got a hundred miles of nothing And a steering wheel to trust

Hook Blacktop Take me where you go Past the county lines Past everything I know Blacktop Don't ask what I done Just keep laying down Till the morning comes

Verse 2 Blue lights passed me going eastbound Never even touched the brake Some men run because they're guilty Some just need a little space I ain't chasing California I ain't headed home again There's a difference between leaving And knowing where you've been

Hook Blacktop Keep that engine hot Every mile behind me Is one thing that I'm not Blacktop Under moon and rain You don't promise freedom You just don't explain White line Yellow line Dead town State sign Gas light Half full Bad past Good pull Let the tires sing gravel Let the old truck shake Let tomorrow find somebody Who still gives a damn to wait I got nothing in the rearview Worth turning around to see Blacktop underneath me Whole damn night ahead of me
