[Verso 1]
The embers glowin' orange, logs are stacked and the smoke rises higher
And you're preachin' to the choir when you say the rapids from the river couldn't drown this fire
[Coro]
And the leaves weren't the only thing fallin'
I stare out the window and wait
I watched it all play out in an instant
I wasn't afraid
[Verso 2]
The glory of a backroad, I sat shotgun and sang harmony beside her
From the blue ridge to the coast, the notes they flow just like the ghost of Carolina
[Coro]
And the leaves weren't the only thing falling
I stare out the window and wait
I watched it all play out in an instant
I wasn't afraid
[Puente]
And I know now what's worth fighting for
I feel you in my bones
Filled to the brim and wanting more
A love I've never known
Never known
[Verso 3]
We're on 40 East now, not much longer babe, we'll be home soon
But honestly you and me, we can be broke down and that'd be fine too
[Coro]
And the leaves weren't the only thing falling
I stare out the window and wait
I watched it all play out in an instant
I wasn't afraid
I wasn't afraid
