Credit // LYRICS [Verse 1 — 😺Mia] We left the diner with the receipt tucked under the map, Two paper cups warming the hollows of our hands. The town fell back behind a row of grain elevators, And morning spread its blue across the overpass. [Verse 1 — 🐯Rea] You checked the mirror, then you laughed at your own reflection, One boot on the clutch, one elbow by the glass. The radio found a song we didn’t know the ending to, So we invented every word and let the mile-markers pass. [Chorus 1 — 😺Mia] Eight miles of highway, nothing waiting at the edge, Just the painted centerline and weather on the windshield. I watched your hands turn gently through the open country; For once, the whole wide world was small enough to hold. [Verse 2 — 🐯Rea] At mile three, a freight train dragged its silver argument Across the crossing, making both of us slow. You pointed out the engineer and named him Captain Monday, Then waved until the last red carriage disappeared below. [Verse 2 — 😺Mia] The wind came cold through the window you had lowered, It combed the loose strands from your face and sent them west. You looked lighter than you had beside the kitchen doorway; The road kept asking questions, and you answered with your breath. [Chorus 2 — 🐯Rea] Seven miles remaining, and the clouds had opened wider, A hawk rode one warm current over fields of barley gold. You said, “If this is all we get, remember how it felt here,” And I said, “Keep your eyes ahead; we’ve still got room to go.” [Bridge — 😺Mia] The sign announced a county neither of us had visited, A river bent beneath it, brown and broad and slow. [Bridge — 🐯Rea] You turned the wheel toward the bridge without announcing it, And every buried worry loosened from its hold. [Verse 3 — 😺Mia] At mile five, we shared the last of someone’s birthday chocolate, Its silver wrapper crackling like a tiny campfire. You told me about the letter folded in your jacket; I told you I would drive when your courage needed tires. [Verse 3 — 🐯Rea] The houses thinned, the guardrail flashed beside us, A dog ran parallel, then vanished near a shed. You grinned as if the future had just waved from the shoulder, And I believed you, though I’d never seen its face. [Chorus 3 — 🐯Both😺] (😺Mia Open - Three miles ahead) Three miles ahead, the asphalt climbed toward open pasture, 😺Mia The blue had deepened past the color names could keep. 🐯Rea Your knuckles loosened softly on the wheel before you, And I knew the freedom wasn’t distance—it was this. [Verse 4 — 😺Both🐯] 😺Mia At mile seven, the old sign leaned toward the drainage ditch, Its arrows pointing nowhere, 🐯Rea its letters bleached and thin. You pulled the car beneath it, 😺Mia and the engine settled, 🐯Rea While wind moved through the grass 😺Mia like news from distant friends. [Ending] Simple solo piano. #OrchestralRock #LateNightDrive #LiberatingVibes
