Verse 1
Drivin’ all night,
chasing headlights
That streak down this
lonely road
The sun is set, the
world grows dark
No dawn will my heart
know
Windows down, the cold
wind blows
My future within these
hills unfolds
And a past I can’t
erase
Mistakes I made
A hundred miles down
this road . . .
Chorus
Put the pedal down on
this blacktop road
Let me leave the past
behind
Driving 85 on Highway
91
Not knowing what I’ll
find
These rollin’
hills and farms and fields
Lie witness to my flight
Faster still, no slowin’
down
No lookin’ behind
tonight
Verse 2
The night sky turns,
these cylinders burn
And still no end in
sight
My rearview mirror grows
pink and gold
With the dawn of love’s
false light
Faster now, these wheels
still race
Toward restless dreams
I chose
And a past I can’t
outpace
Mistakes I made
Two hundred miles down
this road . . .
Chorus
Put the pedal down on
this blacktop road
Let me leave the past
behind
Driving 95 on Highway
91
Not knowing what I’ll
find
These rollin’
hills and farms and fields
Lie witness to my flight
Faster still, no slowin’
down
No lookin’ behind
tonight
Verse 3
Unsettled dreams that
always seem
Just beyond that far
horizon
Another day comes, I
make my way
So much left unsaid,
undone
And still I drive, this
engine hums
‘til I see that
risin’ sun
And a past I gotta face
I made mistakes
Three hundred miles
down this road . . .
Chorus
Put the pedal down on
this blacktop road
Let me leave the past
behind
Driving 105 on Highway
91
Not knowing what I’ll
find
These rollin’
hills and farms and fields
Lie witness to my flight
Faster still, no slowin’
down
I know what I was, and
I know who I am
Now I see that morning
light
And I know I’ll
be alright
