TAMPA RAIN VERSION 1

Three in the morning, Tampa rain Coffee and headlights on the interstate Radio whispering old songs again Chasing tomorrow, outrunning yesterday Paid what I owed and gave what I had Loved some people that never came back Still got ghosts riding shotgun with me Still got dreams nobody can see Pre-Chorus Everybody says let go But they don't know what I know Some things fade and some things stay And some promises don't wash away I'm still driving through the dark Still carrying that stubborn heart Miles behind me, miles to go Still planting seeds nobody knows I've been broken, bent, and bruised Walked away from things I couldn't lose But if you're listening out there somewhere I still choose you Sun coming up over County Line Road Another night gone, another story told Pulled off for breakfast, talked with strangers awhile Traded old memories and borrowed a smile Some people stay and some people drift Life's got a way of handing out gifts And even the nights that cut me in two Never could change what I know to be true Everybody says move on Like the heart can turn itself off But some lights shine after they're gone And some songs just keep playing on I'm still driving through the dark Still carrying that stubborn heart Miles behind me, miles to go Still planting seeds nobody knows I've been broken, bent, and bruised Walked away from things I couldn't lose And if you're listening out there somewhere I still choose you Spoken Transmission Broadcasting tonight from somewhere between Tampa and the edge of eternity... The tank is full. The road is clear. The ghosts ride because I let them stay. And if you're still listening... Just know... I still choose you. Maybe love was never meant to end Maybe roads just turn and meet again Maybe hope survives what time can't do Maybe I was always meant for you And if forever's just a word we say Why do I still feel you anyway? Through every mile and everything I knew Something keeps leading me to you Final Verse No fireworks, no finish line Just a man and the road and a little more time Signal fading but I'm coming through Still driving, still choosing you Still got stars above the avenue Still got faith in things I cannot prove And when this station finally fades from view I'll still choose you
