Craig Bowen - Shelter In The Miles Lyrics

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
