Already on My Way

Blue hour settling on the county line

I take the last booth by the window side

Coffee cooling in a chipped white cup

Your old goodbye still follows me some

Headlights sweep across the diner glass

A waitress asks if I'm waiting on someone

I shake my head, leave a dollar down

My vintage car is facing out of town

The sky turns deep, the sign buzzes low

I know the place I need to go

One hand on the wheel, one hand on the door

I can't remember without wanting more

I'm already on my way

Past the blue hour break of day

Your name in the rearview, fading with the town

I won't turn this car around

Let the headlights pull me through

I still remember you

But the highway's calling and I finally know

Some hearts stay behind when you go

I'm already on my way

Dashboard glow on the silver ring

The radio finds half a song to sing

Two old cars sleep by the diesel sign

A distant town puts its lights in line

I kept your picture in the glove box door

Took it out, then I don't need it anymore

Not because leaving didn't hurt

I just learned what my freedom's worth, oh

The sky turns deep, the road runs straight

I don't need a different fate

One hand on the wheel, eyes on the lines

Your memory can ride, but it can't decide

I'm already on my way

Past the blue hour, break of day

Your name in the rearview, fading with the town

I won't turn this car around

Let the headlights pull me through

I still remember you

But the highway's calling and I finally know

Some hearts stay behind when you go

I'm already on my way

Maybe somewhere past the county lights

I'll miss the life we almost got right

I'll let that feeling have its say

Then watch it disappear in the passing lanes

I'm already on my way

With the whole wide sky in front of me

Your name in the rearview fading

The town, I won't turn this car around

Let the headlights pull me through

I still remember you

Coffee cold, blue evening, engine running low

I found the nerve to let you go

I'm already on my way

Already on my way

Yeah, I'm already on my way

The diner shrinks behind me

The highway opens wide

I still remember you

But I'm already on my way
