​state i’m in

[Verse 1]
Colorado sunrise, New Mexico moon
Oklahoma postcard sayin' I'll see you soon
When I hit Carolina, that's when I'll call
But I ain't coming home 'til I've seen it all

[Chorus]
I've been living my life countin' highway white lines
I wake up and do it all again
And I know it ain't the time to get off of this ride
Yeah, these wheels still got miles left to spin
And there's some green eyes that'd do anything
To love me back to Tennessee
But that ain't the state I'm in

[Verse 2]
My heart's in a place it can't figure out
How to run down a dream and put roots in the ground
I told him, "Don't leave the light on, there's no need to wait"
Yeah, there's no telling when I'm gonna hit the brakes

[Chorus]
I've been living my life countin' highway white lines
I wake up and do it all again
And I know it ain't the time to get off of this ride
Yeah, these wheels still got miles left to spin
And there's some green eyes that'd do anything
To love me back to Tennessee
But that ain't the state I'm in

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, no, no
Ooh

[Bridge]
And years from now if he shuts the door
I'll see him pushin' babies in the grocery store
It'll break my heart but it'll break me more

[Chorus]
If I ain't living my life countin' highway white lines
Wake up and do it all again
I know it ain't the time to get off of this ride
Yeah, these wheels still got miles left to spin
And there's some green eyes that'd do anything
To love me back to Tennessee
In another life that's where my heart lives
But that ain't the state I'm in
