[Verse 1] You left your boots by the kitchen door Mud on the mat and a note on the floor Said you were done with the county line I packed your coat but I kept mine [Pre-Chorus] Now the screen door slaps in the wind And I hear that old road calling again [Chorus] I’m not waiting on your wheels to turn I’ve got my own way out of this town Take your promises, let them burn I won’t be the one you keep putting down Hey, I’m gone before the morning comes With my name still mine and my chin held up [Verse 2] Miss June at the diner poured coffee black Said, “Girl, don’t you dare go crawling back” I paid my tab with the last of my change Then stepped outside and welcomed the rain [Pre-Chorus] There’s a county map in my pocket now And a little bit of nerve I can’t talk down [Chorus] I’m not waiting on your wheels to turn I’ve got my own way out of this town Take your promises, let them burn I won’t be the one you keep putting down Hey, I’m gone before the morning comes With my name still mine and my chin held up [Bridge] You can tell them I was hard to hold Tell them I was never yours to own At the last fork, I’ll choose the road And I won’t look back when I go [Final Chorus] I’m not waiting on your wheels to turn I’ve got my own way out of this town Take your promises, let them burn I won’t be the one you keep putting down Hey, I’m gone before the morning comes With my name still mine and my chin held up With my name still mine and my chin held up [Outro] My chin held up My chin held up
