Chasing Miles

— A Foxfire & Freeways Song

[Verse 1]

Packed up the pieces of a life we knew,
Hitched up the camper with a different view.
Mountains in the mirror, open road ahead,
A thousand little stories still waiting to be read.

We’ve driven through the sunshine,
We’ve driven through the rain,
Broken parts and wrong turns,
Then got back up again.

There’s laughter from the backseat,
Music rolling through,
We don’t always know where we’re going
But somehow we make it through.

[Pre-Chorus]

We’re not running from the life behind,
We’re chasing something more
Collecting little memories
On roads we’ve never known before.

[Chorus]

We’re chasing miles, chasing dreams,
Chasing sunsets through the evergreens.
With a little foxfire burning bright,
Guiding us into another night.

Through the mountains, through the plains,
Through the breakdowns and pouring rain.
Wherever this wild road may lead

Until the next mile,
Keep the fire lit
And the road calling me.

[Verse 2]

Barefoot in the festival grass,
Little hands reaching as the music passed.
War cries ringing while the drums roll on,
Another little memory before the moment’s gone.

There are fireflies beneath the canvas,
Like stars within our reach,
Huckleberry summers,
And sunsets on the beach.

Strangers turn to family,
New towns start feeling known,
Funny how the farther that we wander,
The more this life feels like home.

[Pre-Chorus]

We’re not waiting for someday now,
Someday came along.
Turns out all those impossible dreams
Were waiting down the road.

[Chorus]

We’re chasing miles, chasing dreams,
Chasing sunsets through the evergreens.
With a little foxfire burning bright,
Guiding us into another night.

Through the mountains, through the plains,
Through the breakdowns and pouring rain.
Wherever this wild road may lead

Until the next mile,
Keep the fire lit
And the road calling me.

[Bridge — quieter]

Objects in the mirror
Are closer than they appear…

Funny how the dreams we thought
Were still a thousand miles from here
Are sleeping in the backseat,
Running barefoot through the grass,
Living in these photographs
Of moments moving fast.

We built a home to come back to,
But we’re never standing still,
There will always be another road,
Another dream beyond the hill.

[Build]

So let the tires keep on turning,
Let that horizon call our names.
We’ll carry home inside us
No matter how the map may change.

[Final Chorus — BIG]

WE’RE CHASING MILES, CHASING DREAMS,
CHASING SUNSETS THROUGH THE EVERGREENS!
With the foxfire burning bright,
We’ll follow it into another night.

Through every mountain, every plain,
Every breakdown, every drop of rain
This wild little life is all we need.

We’ll keep chasing miles,
Making memories,
Writing stories no map could ever read.

And when tomorrow finds us gone…

Keep the fire lit—
And the road calling on.

[Outro — stripped back]

Another town behind us,
Another sunrise still to see.

Objects in the mirror
Are closer than they appear…

And sometimes…

So are your dreams.

Until the next mile.
