Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What can I say? It’s my job and I’ve gotta go
You knew I was a trucker when we first got close
I promised you love, but I never promised I’d stay
This road keeps calling… and it pulls me away
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna leave, but I’ve got bills to pay
I don’t wanna pack this bag again today
I know this life keeps takin’ me farther from you
And God knows there’s times I wanna be done too
But this old rig don’t drive itself
And I’m doin’ it all… for us, not just myself
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I think I should hang it all up
Find a nine-to-five and just give this up
But you tell me to chase what I was born to do
And that’s drivin’ these miles… but missin’ you
[Chorus Repeat]
I don’t wanna leave, but I’ve got bills to pay
I don’t wanna pack this bag again today
I know this life keeps takin’ me farther from you
And God knows there’s times I wanna be done too
But this old rig don’t drive itself
And I’m doin’ it all… for us, not just myself
[Bridge – Emotional Build]
Every mile, every turn,
Every night I lay awake and burn
Wishin’ I was holdin’ you instead of a wheel
But I’m out here chasin’ what’s real
[Final Chorus – Soft and Heavy]
I don’t wanna leave, but I’ve got bills to pay
I don’t wanna hear you cry as I pull away
I know this job keeps takin’ me down this line
But you’re the reason I cross that state sign
I swear, one day I’ll park this rig for good…
And come home for good…
Just like I should
