[Verse 1]
Small town Friday
Same three bars
Same tall tales
Same old scars
You said settle down
Boy
Buy that ring
But my hands keep shaking
When I picture that thing
[Chorus]
What I want
Keeps pulling like a long road
Dust flying in the rearview
Heart beating in a high glow
What I want
Ain’t a house on a flat line street
It’s a worn-out map
And an empty seat
What I want
What I want
Might never want me
[Verse 2]
Mama’s on the front porch
Counting sins
Daddy’s in the workshop
Measuring wins
They say grown men
Pick a fence
Pick a side
But I get restless
Every time I try
[Chorus]
What I want
Keeps pulling like a long road
Dust flying in the rearview
Heart beating in a high glow
What I want
Ain’t a house on a flat line street
It’s a worn-out map
And an empty seat
What I want
What I want
Might never want me
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m scared
Of staying the same
Maybe I’m chained
To chasing the flame
If I lose you
Out here in the dark
At least I’ll know
I followed my heart (yeah)
[Chorus]
What I want
Keeps pulling like a long road
Dust flying in the rearview
Heart beating in a high glow
What I want
Ain’t a house on a flat line street
It’s a worn-out map
And an empty seat
What I want
What I want
Might never want me
(But I still want it)
What I want
What I want
Might finally set me free
