Ride On

[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots
Engine breathing low
Sun on the wire
Long way to go
I learned the hard way
I learned alone
No map in my hand
Just a weight in my bones
City in the mirror
Fading behind
I don’t chase ghosts
I don’t borrow time
Every mile written deep in my tone
If the road talks back
I answer: on

[Pre-Chorus]
No green light
No sign to wait
I don’t ask luck to set me straight
I burned my bridges
Kept the flame
Now every turn calls out my name

[Chorus]
Ride on
Till the lines blur out
Ride on
Through the dust and doubt
If the sky falls
I’ll lean into the wind
Ride on
Ride on again
Ride on
With the past in the rear
Ride on
Till the way is clear
If my heart breaks
I’ll break it in the grin
Ride on
Ride on again

[Verse 2]
Cracked leather seat
Coffee going cold
Stories in the scars that I never told
Radio’s busted
I hum my own song
Two-lane truth just pulling me along
Face in the window
Older than before
Still that kid kicking down the door
Every mile marker
Another small win
Every white stripe saying go on
Dig in

[Pre-Chorus]
No sure thing
Just fuel and faith
I keep my fears tied to the wraiths
If doubt rides up and grabs my sleeve
I shake it loose
I let it leave

[Chorus]
Ride on
Till the lines blur out
Ride on
Through the dust and doubt
If the sky falls
I’ll lean into the wind
Ride on
Ride on again
Ride on
With the past in the rear
Ride on
Till the way is clear
If my heart breaks
I’ll break it in the grin
Ride on
Ride on again

[Bridge]
Headlights cutting through a tired blue dawn
Tired but I’m still hanging on (oh yeah)
I wasn’t built for turning around
I only feel right rolling out of town

[Chorus]
Ride on
Till the lines blur out
Ride on
Through the dust and doubt
If the sky falls
I’ll lean into the wind
Ride on
Ride on again
Ride on
With the past in the rear
Ride on
Till the way is clear
If my heart breaks
I’ll break it in the grin
Ride on
Ride on again
