Runaway Heart on the Interstate

Intro

(Squeal of tires)

(On your mark)

(Get set)

(Go)

Verse 1

Saturday night and the tank's full up

Neon-bright on the road ahead

Got a leather jacket and a cheap guitar

Got a story that I haven't said

Pre-Chorus

Something in the flatlands calling

Something past the last streetlight

If I don't chase it now then I'm falling

Into some long forgotten night

Chorus

Runaway heart on the interstate

Waving goodbye to yesterday's mistakes

Runaway heart and the radio's on

Singing me a song about being gone

Verse 2

Stopped at a diner where the coffee's black

Waitress asked me where I'm bound

I said the coast or anywhere after that

Somewhere the stars don't make a sound

Pre-Chorus

Same words in a different voice

Same road in a different light

Every mile is a kind of choice

Every exit is a quieter fight

Chorus

Runaway heart on the interstate

Waving goodbye to yesterday's mistakes

Runaway heart and the radio's on

Singing me a song about being gone

Bridge

I could turn around and call it home

I could let the engine die alone

But there's a road map folded in my chest

And it points wherever I haven't been yet

Final Chorus

Runaway heart on the interstate

Waving goodbye to yesterday's mistakes

Runaway heart and the radio's on

Singing me a song about being gone
