Lyrics
Verse 1
Old boots by the doorFresh coat on the floorI left that hard roadBy the gas station glowMap burned in my handDirt still on my skinBut I got a new nameAnd I’m rolling again
Pre‑Chorus
Let the dust fall offLet the past stay behindOne more mile gone wrongThen I cross that line
Chorus
Start me up againStart me up againI’m not who I wasI’m not there, I’m not thereStart me up againStart me up againSame heart, new wheelsSame scars, fresh air
Verse 2
Mama said, “Boy, breathe”When the night got meanSo I packed my hurtIn a two-tone dreamChrome on the promiseMoon on the tankIf I lose my wayI’ll still thank the break
Pre‑Chorus
Let the dust fall offLet the past stay behindOne more mile gone wrongThen I cross that line
Chorus
Start me up againStart me up againI’m not who I wasI’m not there, I’m not thereStart me up againStart me up againSame heart, new wheelsSame scars, fresh air
Breakdown
I heard the old town callFrom a faded rearview shineI let it fade to blackAnd I stepped back into timePedal steel crying softWhile the synth line climbsI buried what broke meIn the county line
Chorus
Start me up againStart me up againI’m not who I wasI’m not there, I’m not thereStart me up againStart me up againSame heart, new wheelsSame scars, fresh air
Outro
Fresh airNew wheelsI’m starting new
