Side of the Road

[Verse 1]

Left my hometown in a hand-me-down Ford

Box full of books and a cracked surfboard

Mama on the porch said

“Boy

Be brave”

So I taped her note to the dash to save

[Pre-Chorus]

Every mile I’m talking to the past

Every sign says I’m movin’ fast

But I’m still that kid in the cul-de-sac

Tryna not look back

[Chorus]

So I pull to the side of the road

Sing to the sky like I’m not alone

Heart on the dash with the radio low

Let the tears dry slow

Let the tears dry slow

If the world’s gonna take what I know

I’m still that kid with a full tank soul

Chasing a life I ain’t seen before

From the side of the road

From the side of the road

[Verse 2]

Met a waitress in a Utah town

Coffee on the house

Said she loved my sound

Wrote her number on a paper cup

I drove away

Never picked it up

[Pre-Chorus]

Every face feels almost like a friend

Every night I’m starting up again

But I’m still that kid in his Sunday clothes

With a runny nose

[Chorus]

So I pull to the side of the road

Sing to the sky like I’m not alone

Heart on the dash with the radio low

Let the tears dry slow

Let the tears dry slow

Let the tears dry slow

Let the tears dry slow

If the world’s gonna take what I know

I’m still that kid with a full tank soul

Chasing a life I ain’t seen before

From the side of the road

From the side of the road

[Bridge]

One day maybe I’ll turn around (oh)

Find that porch light

Find that town

But if I never make it home

At least I owned it

Every unknown

[Chorus]

So I pull to the side of the road

Sing to the sky like I’m not alone

Heart on the dash with the radio low

Let the tears dry slow

Let the tears dry slow

If the world’s gonna take what I know

I’m still that kid with a full tank soul

Chasing a life I ain’t seen before

From the side of the road

From the side of the road
