County Line Sunrise

Lyrics

Verse 1
Coffee's steaming in the cup holder
AM radio playing low
Headlights cutting through the darkness
Same old road I've always known
One by one the mile signs pass me
Like old friends waving hi
Funny how the whole world's quiet
Before the morning starts to rise
Pre-Chorus
Another day's waiting...
Just beyond the hill.
Chorus
There's a county line sunrise Paintin' gold across the sky
Makes a hard day's work seem worth it Before I've even clocked my time
Coffee's hot The road runs straight The good Lord's waking up the day
Ain't nowhere else I'd rather be...
Than chasing A county line sunrise.
Verse 2
Passed old Johnson's little dairy
Saw the lights come flickering on
Miss Betty's diner starts the coffee Long before the break of dawn
Every porch light tells a story Every barn's a memory
Some folks chase the city skyline...
This old road's enough for me.
Chorus
There's a county line sunrise Lighting up these fields again
Like it does for every dreamer Heading out to make a living
Steel-toed boots A thermos cup Another chance to earn enough
Sometimes heaven looks a lot...
Like a county line sunrise.
Bridge
One day maybe I'll slow down
Sleep in Watch the morning come around
But today...
That sunrise Has somewhere for me to be.
Final Chorus
There's a county line sunrise Burning through the morning haze
Every mile reminds me Why I wouldn't trade these days
Coffee's gone The radio's loud The windows cracked just far enough
And every morning starts the same...
With another County line sunrise.
Outro
Tomorrow morning...
Same old road.
Same old coffee.
Same old sunrise.
...
Wouldn't change a thing.
