Can't Outrun the Sun

Verse 1

Streetlight flicker as the engine hums

Rearview shows the dust I left behind

Every mile a little lighter on my mind

But the horizon keeps its patient glow

Pre-Chorus

And I know it waits for me somewhere

I know it follows every road I take

Chorus

You can't outrun the sun

But you sure as hell can try

Burn the tread right off the wheels

Chase the fade into the sky

You can't outrun the sun

Might as well leave it glowing

Verse 2

Golden on my shoulder every dawn

Painting up the cracks inside my head

I press the pedal down a little more

Let the thunder take the place of dread

Pre-Chorus

And I know it waits for me somewhere

I know it follows every road I take

Chorus

You can't outrun the sun

But you sure as hell can try

Burn the tread right off the wheels

Chase the fade into the sky

You can't outrun the sun

Might as well leave it glowing

Bridge

Red across the dashboard lines

Warm against the cold

I keep driving till the day

I guess I'll never know

Guitar Solo

Chorus

You can't outrun the sun

But you sure as hell can try

Burn the tread right off the wheels

Chase the fade into the sky

You can't outrun the sun

Might as well leave it glowing
