Lyrics
It’s all coming to ya
You were seventeen with a borrowed car
Running red lights, pushing every scar
You said this town would never hold you down
So you burned every bridge on your way out of town
You left some promises out in the rain
A few good people carrying your name
You laughed and said, “That’s yesterday”
But yesterday don’t always stay away
Every mile
Every lie
Every door you left behind
It’s all coming to ya
Every word, every road
Every hand that you let go
It’s all coming to ya
Every fire, every flame
Every face that still remembers your name
You can run
You can hide
You can keep that pedal down
But it’s all coming to ya now
You made some money, you made some noise
You learned how to talk like the bigger boys
A clean white shirt and a downtown view
But the man in the glass still looks like you
Then the phone rang late on a Tuesday night
A voice from home said, “Your daddy ain’t right”
And suddenly all those years were gone
You were back on that road before the dawn
Every mile
Every lie
Every door you left behind
It’s all coming to ya
Every word, every road
Every hand that you let go
It’s all coming to ya
Every fire, every flame
Every face that still remembers your name
You can run
You can hide
You can keep that pedal down
But it’s all coming to ya now
Not every debt gets paid in gold
Not every truth grows weak with age
Some things wait behind the curtain
Some things walk right onto the stage
You can call it fate
You can call it time
You can blame the rain
Or the county line
But when the past starts knocking
You know what you gotta do
Open that door
And let it come through
The old house leaned like it knew your face
Same cracked porch, same empty space
Your brother stood there with your father’s coat
And handed you a letter your old man wrote
It said, “Son, I never learned to say
That I was proud you got away
But a man ain’t free just because he’s gone
He’s free when he knows what he’s standing on”
It’s all coming to ya
Every word, every road
Every hand that you let go
It’s all coming to ya
Every fire, every flame
Every face that still remembers your name
You can run
You can hide
You can keep that pedal down
But it’s all coming to ya now
Yeah, it’s all coming to ya
The good and the bad
Every little thing you thought you never had
It’s all coming to ya
So turn that car around
It’s all coming to ya now
Every mile
Every town
Every road comes back around
It’s all coming to ya now.
