Shelter In The Miles

There's salt in my eyes leaving you and San Antonio behind So I headed for the coast, it's the only place my soul feels right I tried a hundred times to call and tell you I didn't mean to leave you all alone But the more I drive, the more I realize I'm never coming home There was dust in my eyes in the rearview watching Daddy wave goodbye I never thought I'd need them like I do now, and I don't know why But life takes us farther than we could ever know And cuts like a river cuts through stone Oh, I'm sorry, Momma, for never coming home My home is where life leads me My heart got left behind This road keeps on forgiving There's shelter in the miles There was a prayer in my eyes as the church closed up behind me one last time It's not that I don't believe, I just don't believe in all the lies If there's ever been a God of fire and brimstone, he ain't seen the sins I call my own And I hope he doesn't think, I'm never coming home My home is where life leads me My heart got left behind This road keeps on forgiving There's shelter in the miles My home is where life leads me My heart got left behind This road keeps on forgiving There's shelter in the miles Oh, there's shelter in the miles There's shelter in the miles
