Keys on the Hook

[Verse 1]
I look at that car note
like a chain on my wrist
I look at that house bill
and I want to dismiss
Tired of the same road
same porch, same lock
I want to roll out
with a half-packed box

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the papers sit
let the mailbox brim
I’ve got one good tank
and a world to skim
If the day keeps calling
I might just obey
put my name on the wind
and head out today

[Chorus]
Leave the keys on the hook
leave the door unloved
I want the next hello
and a sky above
Leave the keys on the hook
I’m done with the hold
I want new names, new roads
and a little more soul

[Verse 2]
Meet a girl in Tulsa
share fries by the curb
hear her laugh in my head
like a line I learned
Sleep in a cheap room
wake up to the rain
trade my old routines
for a stranger’s name

[Pre-Chorus]
No more counting months
no more dragging feet
I want dust on my boots
and a quick new beat
If the map runs out
I’ll keep going blind
there’s a whole wide world
and it’s mine to find

[Chorus]
Leave the keys on the hook
leave the door unloved
I want the next hello
and a sky above
Leave the keys on the hook
I’m done with the hold
I want new names, new roads
and a little more soul

[Bridge]
Maybe I was built
for a moving life
not the long hard grind
of the same old fight
If I miss that front step
I’ll miss it some
but I’d rather chase
than become my sum

[Final Chorus]
Leave the keys on the hook
leave the door unloved
I want the next hello
and a sky above
Leave the keys on the hook
I’m done with the hold
I want new names, new roads
and a little more soul
