No leash on me

I've been rollin' straight lines with the windows cracked

Just me and the buzz of an old AM track I ain't chasin' gold, I ain't settlin' down

Just seein' what's left when the lights burn out

Mama said, boy, don't you worry so much Some folks need roots, some just need dust

I don't know tomorrow a single thing And I still mind if I let it be

I don't lie about the way I live I don't fake what I feel or who I am

I walk this world with no leash on me No lock on my heart, no guarantee

I pull when I want, I stop when I don't I'm honest enough to admit what I want

Life moves fast, yeah, I learned that truth You can't slow it down, just ride it through

When it's all said and done, I'll leave light and free

Just stories behind, no leash on me

I'm like birds on a wire by the coast at dawn Never stay too long once the feeling's gone

I've laughed in bars I'll never see twice Found peace in moments that didn't look nice

I know every mile costs somethin' inside But I'd rather feel lost than feel like I lied

If time's a debt, yeah, I'll pay it straight Every breath borrowed, every risk taken

I don't dress it up, I don't play pretend This road's the only truth I've had since then

I walk this world with no leash on me No lock on my heart, no guarantee

I pull when I want, I stop when I don't I'm honest enough to admit what I want

Life moves fast, yeah, I learned that truth You can't slow it down, just ride it through

When it's all said and done, I'll leave light and free

Just stories behind, no leash on me

When my name's just a sound folks barely recall And my boots ain't lined up by nobody's wall

I won't miss the weight of what I try to keep Just the nights I was real and the promises I didn't cheat

Yeah, I walk this world with no leash on me Didn't buy the lie of forever of things

I lived it loud, I lived it true Didn't owe this life an excuse

When the dust settles where I used to be I won't count what's gone

Just who I was free
