Shelter In The Miles

There's salt in my eyes leaving you and San Antonio behind

So I headed for the coast, it's the only place my soul feels right

I tried a hundred times to call and tell you I didn't mean to leave you all alone

But the more I drive, the more I realize I'm never coming home

There was dust in my eyes in the rearview watching Daddy wave goodbye

I never thought I'd need them like I do now, and I don't know why

But life takes us farther than we could ever know

And cuts like a river cuts through stone

Oh, I'm sorry, Momma, for never coming home

My home is where life leads me

My heart got left behind

This road keeps on forgiving

There's shelter in the miles

There was a prayer in my eyes as the church closed up behind me one last time

It's not that I don't believe, I just don't believe in all the lies

If there's ever been a God of fire and brimstone, he ain't seen the sins I call my own

And I hope he doesn't think, I'm never coming home

My home is where life leads me

My heart got left behind

This road keeps on forgiving

There's shelter in the miles

My home is where life leads me

My heart got left behind

This road keeps on forgiving

There's shelter in the miles

Oh, there's shelter in the miles

There's shelter in the miles
