Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I crack a smile, but I'm bleeding inside
Rack up the miles, leaving you behind
Running down a dream while you're standing by this time
Can't get you out of my mind
[PreChorus]
Leave the light on for me
You know I can't sleep
Running a flat line heartbeat
Dying to get back to Tennessee
[Chorus]
Tears on the telephone
You know I can't let it go
Chasing these white line roads
Taking these headlights home
These headlights home
These headlights home
[Verse 2]
Solo window dinner table tonight
The hungry lovers out, but I got no appetite
The city's writing my letters in lights
This time, they don't feel like mine
[Chorus]
Leave the light on for me
You know I can't sleep
Running a flat line heartbeat
Dying to get back to Tennessee
[PreChorus]
Tears on the telephone
You know I can't let it go
Chasing these white line roads
Dying till I get a roll
These headlights home
These headlights home
These headlights home
[Bridge]
Leave the light on, leave the light on for me
Leave the light on, leave the light on for me
Leave the light on, leave the light on for me
Leave the light on for me
[PreChorus]
Leave the light on for me
You know I can't sleep
Running a flat line heartbeat
Dying to get back to Tennessee
[Chorus]
Tears on the telephone
You know I can't let it go
Chasing these white line roads
Taking these headlights home
These headlights home
[Outro]
Leave the light on, leave the light on for me
Leave the light on, leave the light on for me
These headlights home
Leave the light on, leave the light on for me
Leave the light on for me
