Sold the House

I sold the house, let the garden die Took one last look, didn't even cry Left the porch swing creakin' in the wind Like it knew I wasn't comin' back again Packed up a life in a secondhand van Photos, tools, a beat-up frying pan Left my boots by the kitchen wall But I took my heart, and that was all Cause I was dying in a life I never chose Wakin' up in rooms that never felt like home Now the sky's wide open, and the road runs loud I'm headin' somewhere, I don't need a crowd Traded square feet for the open air And the silence now feels like a prayer I sold the house to save my soul Now I'm chasing fire down the gravel road The neighbors watched as I drove away Bet they thought I'd be back someday But some goodbyes don't leave a crack And some roads you don't ever turn back Cause I was dying in a life I never chose Wakin' up in rooms that never felt like home Now the sky's wide open, and the road runs loud I'm headin' somewhere, I don't need a crowd Traded square feet for the open air And the silence now feels like a prayer I sold the house to save my soul Now I'm chasing fire down the gravel road Let the wind decide where I go Let the stars be the only thing I know Sometimes freedom comes at a cost But what you lose ain't always lost Yeah, I was dying in a life I never chose Now I'm living in a world I finally know The sky's wide open, the night's my friend Ain't got much, but I ain't pretendin' Traded square feet for the open air And peace like that is mighty rare I sold the house to find my road And I found my fire where the wild winds blow
