01 / 16 Somebody Out Ahead
Verse 1
three days, no one
not a light, not a sound
then two red lights
went around the bend
Refrain
you're not the only one out here
somebody's lights are on
i don't know whose
you're not the only one out here
Verse 2
i sped up for a minute
just to catch them
then i slowed back down
they don't owe me anything
Refrain
you're not the only one out here
somebody's lights are on
i don't know whose
you're not the only one out here
Verse 3
i leave my lights on now
even in the daylight
costs me nothing to do it
somebody back there might need them
Refrain
you're not the only one out here
somebody's lights are on
i don't know whose
you're not the only one out here
Refrain
you're not the only one out here
somebody's lights are on
i don't know whose
you're not the only one out here
Outro
keep your lights on
somebody's back there

Verse 1
how much further
i said it out loud
like a kid in the back seat
but i'm the one driving
Refrain
you can stop counting the miles
nobody's checking
not even me
you can stop counting the miles
Verse 2
i've counted every mile
like counting helps
i've been wrong about the distance
every single time
Refrain
you can stop counting the miles
nobody's checking
not even me
you can stop counting the miles
Verse 3
half a tank
one good tape
half a sandwich gone soft
i'm doing better than i said
Refrain
you can stop counting the miles
nobody's checking
not even me
you can stop counting the miles
Bridge
i asked how much further
for about a thousand miles
then i looked at where i was
and it was somewhere else

Verse 1
she said you've been driving since the gate
i said i'm alright
she said your hands are shaking on the wheel
i said i'm alright
she said okay

forty more miles
and the line went soft
she didn't say anything
she just put her hand out
and i gave her the wheel

you can close your eyes
somebody's got the wheel
you can close your eyes
Verse 3
i said how long was i out
she said long enough
i said you should have woke me

let somebody drive
you can close your eyes
somebody's got the wheel

let somebody drive
you can close your eyes
somebody's got the wheel
you can close your eyes

15 / 16 Gold on the Windshield
Verse 1
the road went straight
first time in days
and the dust on the glass
turned the whole sky gold
Verse 2
you slept through the worst of it
that's alright, you earned it
open your eyes now
you're going to want this one
Chorus
it's gold from here
whatever it took
it's gold from here
Verse 3
i wanted to tell somebody
for about four hundred miles
and you were right there
asleep in the good seat
Chorus
it's gold from here
whatever it took
it's gold from here
Bridge
the middle was long
i won't pretend it wasn't
some days i drove
because stopping was worse
Chorus
it's gold from here
whatever it took
it's gold from here
it's gold from here
Outro
it's gold from here
whatever it took
it's gold from here
