lyrics

Headlights, long nights.
Land of plenty.
Dashboard, drive home,
Gauge on 'empty'.

This is sky is nothing but a blanket you kick off in the middle of the night.
Kick it off.
Throw it out.
Gotta break away from this dream that I didn't write.

And this here road is old and long gone down.
Same old signs and turns,
And the tar is slick.
The mud is thick with promises, promises.

Sunrise, same sky.
New eyes hoping.
Front porch, back door.
Windows open.

These airplanes whining sound like a siren song from the land where I want to be.
Rise up, throw down, take off.
Going to fly like a banner on my first day free, yeah.

And this here road is old and long gone down.
Same old signs and turns,
And the tar is slick.
The mud is thick with promises, promises.

Can you hear the outside calling?
That's not rain.
The glass is falling.

And this here road is old and long gone down.
Same old signs and turns that sway this town.
And this here road is not my path.
I know it now.
The tar is slick.
The mud is thick,
And I'm so sick of all these promises, promises.
Promises.
