Runaway Adventure

[Verse 1] Seventeen and restless, quarter through my senior year Home didn’t feel like home no more, just heavy with the fear Packed my clothes in that sixty-six Fairlane Ford One last square dance spin across the hardwood floor Cashed my check on Friday, said goodbye that night Held her close beneath those Union hall lights I was scared but I was certain change was overdue Tank full of gas and a sky wide open blue [Chorus] From Gas City down to Georgia pine Red line drawn on a borrowed map of mine Indianapolis, Paducah, Nashville lights Chattanooga rollin’ through the night Atlanta in my rearview glass Valdosta comin’ up too fast When your money’s gone but your faith holds strong Five miles to Valdosta keeps you movin’ on [Verse 2] Cash ran dry just south of town Engine coughed and it shut right down Parked that Ford off Interstate 75 Locked her up and started walking just to stay alive Truck stop lights a mile away Called Grandma on a payphone that day “Western Union, Valdosta town” Five-mile walk and the sun went down Closed sign hangin’ in the door Me and my shadow on that cold floor Stranger in a place unknown First long night I’d been alone [Chorus] From Gas City down to Georgia pine Red line drawn on a borrowed map of mine Indianapolis, Paducah, Nashville lights Chattanooga rollin’ through the night Atlanta in my rearview glass Valdosta came and I ran out of gas When your money’s gone but your faith holds strong Five miles to Valdosta keeps you movin’ on [Verse 3] Saw the glow of a Seven Eleven sign Warm air felt like mercy that time Clerk looked up tryin’ to read my face I told him every mile of the chase He let me sleep on the back room floor Kindness found me unaware Morning came, he said, “Sweep the floor” Five dollars richer than before Took me early to the Western door Grandma’s twenty waiting there for sure Bought some eggs and coffee strong Started that long walk back along Gas can rattlin’ in my hand Fifty-seven cents a gallon then Prayin’ that old Ford was still Waitin’ quiet on that hill [Chorus] From Gas City down to Georgia pine Red line drawn on a borrowed map of mine Indianapolis, Paducah, Nashville lights Chattanooga rollin’ through the night Atlanta in my rearview glass Valdosta gave me one more chance When your money’s gone but your faith holds strong Five miles to Valdosta keeps you movin’ on [Verse 4] Met a fella thumbin’ southbound road Headed Tampa with a travelin’ load I was bound for Lakeland town We shook hands and we rolled on down Florida line and Gainesville sun Ocala pines slid by one by one Tampa skyline risin’ tall East Fletcher exit and he was gone Back on 75 then I-4 Lakeland sign like an open door Fuel still sloshin’ in the tank Said a quiet prayer of thanks Grandma’s hug and Grandpa’s grin Safe at last, I was home again Rules were simple, straight and clear “Go to school, get a job while you’re here.” Half days class and a Publix vest Baggin’ groceries, doin’ my best Made new friends and a brand new start Built a life with a steady heart [Final Chorus (Big Harmony)] From Gas City down to Georgia pine Red line faded but the road was mine Every mile taught me who I am Faith and kindness and a helping hand When you’re young and scared and low on cash Heaven sometimes rides the gas you lack Yeah your money’s gone but your faith holds strong Five miles to Valdosta carries you on [Outro, dramatic, Thankful feel] Five miles… to Valdosta… Started a new life But it didn't last long I had to head back home bus ride home spirit broken felt dejected and lost God had a different plan Rough path, but a better one Grateful for His guiding hand.
