Lyrics

Verse 1

Cracked leather seats on a rusted out bus

Sunburnt motels stained with regret and dust

Scratched-out addresses on postcards unsent

Trading my secrets for miles I’ve spent

Pre-Chorus

Tie up my laces and follow the lines

Clouds hanging low chasing old highway signs

Restless and ragged but I circle the bend

Carried by stories too stubborn to end

in

Chorus

Hollow roads lead me farther tonight

Shifting signs flicker out of my sight

Dust in my boots and a question remains

Callous wind whispers nobody’s name

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Nobody’s name

Verse 2

Broken white lines curl away in the fog

Dead radio humming some half-forgot song

Glovebox confessions and faded receipts

A map with red circles from places I’ll meet

Pre-Chorus

Spin out the questions that hang in the air

Empty horizon, I drive if I dare

Still chasing answers that never quite land

Old stubborn promise in callused hands

Chorus

Hollow roads lead me farther tonight

Shifting signs flicker out of my sight

Dust in my boots and a question remains

Callous wind whispers nobody’s name

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Nobody’s name

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Bridge

Blank exit signs glowing green in my mind

Phone booth reflections of dreams left behind

Thunder rolls somewhere out past the lights

Every goodbye lost in restless goodnights

Chorus

Hollow roads lead me farther tonight

Shifting signs flicker out of my sight

Dust in my boots and a question remains

Callous wind whispers nobody’s name

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Nobody’s name

Oh oh oh

Outro

Oh oh oh

Nobody’s name

Drifting on through the rain

Oh oh oh

Outro

Oh oh oh

Nobody’s name

Drifting on through the rain

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Nobody’s name

Drifting on through the rain

Oh oh oh

Outro

Oh oh oh

Nobody’s name

Drifting on through the rain

Oh oh oh

End
