Lyrics
Intro
Spoken"You thought I’d stay sitting on this front porch forever, just waiting on you to change. Well, honey, look at that highway calling. I'm choosing the dust over you. Hit it, boys."IntroVerse 1I watched the sunset sink behind a broken fenceTrying to make a bad man’s promises finally make some senseYou spent a whole year treating my love like a choreLeaving your cold regrets sitting outside the doorBut this wild wildflower is firing the engine upI’m packing my freedom right inside a pickup truckChorusHeavy-grooving swampy crowd shoutTurn the key! (Crowd: Turn it!)Bury the past! (Crowd: Go!)Choosin' the highway! (Crowd: Hell yeah!)Rearview dust! (Crowd: Dust!)Leaving him lonely! (Crowd: Left!)Until the dawn arrives! (Crowd: Yee-haw!)Verse 2You can call the neighbors, call my old telephoneBut you can't touch a cloud that's already rolling aloneI pull up to the state line, feeling the open windA thousand miles away from the ghost of what has beenI pull up to a neon sign and slam my cash on the wood'Cause choosing myself tonight never felt so damn goodChorusHeavy-grooving swampy crowd shoutTurn the key! (Crowd: Turn it!)Bury the past! (Crowd: Go!)Choosin' the highway! (Crowd: Hell yeah!)Rearview dust! (Crowd: Dust!)Leaving him lonely! (Crowd: Left!)Until the dawn arrives! (Crowd: Yee-haw!)BridgeMusic drops low - Just a thumping bass drum and heavy stadium hand-clapsA glass of pure bourbon, a heart that’s finally freeThere ain't no man alive who can lock a chain on meCrowd building to a complete, absolute frenzy: Let's go! Let's go! Hey! Hey!Final ChorusThe entire band explodes into a massive swamp-rock wall of soundTurn the key! (Crowd: Turn it!)Bury the past! (Crowd: Go!)Choosin' the highway! (Crowd: Hell yeah!)Rearview dust! (Crowd: Dust!)Leaving him lonely! (Crowd: Left!)Until the dawn arrives! (Crowd: Yee-haw!)TagThe electric guitars and fiddle stay high and wildYeah, left in the rearviewCrowd shouts: All by yourself!Choosin' the highwayCrowd shouts: Burning up the dawn!
