I left the house at dawn
With a coffee gone cold
A dent in the door
And a heart way older than my bones
The wheat fields moved slow
Like they knew my name
I kept both hands on the wheel
And my good luck in a chain
By the county line
I caught my face in the glass
Too many hard turns
Too many years gone by too fast
One more mile marker
One more faded sign
Keep that engine rolling
Keep this old life mine
One more mile marker
Till the dark turns gold
I’m still headed home
With a heavy honest load
At a diner off Route Nine
I watched the waitresses laugh
My hands looked like they’d worked
Every day I ever had
A kid at the counter
Asked if I was okay
I said Son I’m just tired
In a stubborn kind of way
He nodded once
Like he understood the cost
Some roads don’t break you
They just show what you’ve lost
One more mile marker
One more faded sign
Keep that engine rolling
Keep this old life mine
One more mile marker
Till the dark turns gold
I’m still headed home
With a heavy honest load
I used to chase the shine
Used to want it all
Now I want a porch light
And someone there when I call
A map full of maybes
A pocket full of prayer
This worn-out road
Still brings me back somewhere
One more mile marker
One more faded sign
Keep that engine rolling
Keep this old life mine
One more mile marker
Till the dark turns gold
I’m still headed home
With a heavy honest load
Yeah I’m still headed home
Just a little bit slower now
