LYRICS
Verse 1
Sky’s turning black, clouds heavy with rain
This road feels like it knows my name
I’ve been running from the weight I’ve known
Chasing a place where the hurt can’t go
Pre-Chorus
Ain’t nothing left in that old ghost town
Just the echoes of love that keep dragging me down
Chorus
I’ll cross at the county line, let the dark fall behind me
No second thoughts, no chains to bind me
With the shadows, the lies, and the weight off my spine
When the night swallows me whole, I’ll be hard to find
I ain’t turning around once I cross at the county line
Verse 2
There’s a long stretch of black where the highway bends
And a promise to myself that this road won’t end
With every mile, I’m cutting the ties
Leaving behind all the worn-out lies
Pre-Chorus
Freedom’s just the other side of that sign
One more mile ‘til I’m leaving you behind
Chorus
I’ll cross at the county line, let the dark fall behind me
No second thoughts, no chains to bind me
With the shadows, the lies, and the weight off my spine
When the night swallows me whole, I’ll be hard to find
I ain’t turning around once I cross at the county line
Bridge
Headlights carving their way through the night
Every white line’s another piece of my life
And if the past comes chasing close behind
It won’t catch me when I hit that sign
Final Chorus
I’ll cross at the county line, let the dark fall behind me
No second thoughts, no chains to bind me
With the shadows, the lies, and the weight off my spine
When the night swallows me whole, I’ll be hard to find
I ain’t turning around once I cross at the county line
Outro
That sign fades to black, and I fade with it too
Ain’t no going back, not to you
