More Than Miles
Brantley Gilbert Lyrics

Maybe I should take that picture off the dashboard
He contemplates removing the picture of his ex from his car dashboard to avoid being constantly reminded of the past.

Before her memory hits the brakes and takes the wheel
He fears that his memories and emotions towards his ex may cause him to lose control of his thoughts and actions.

I bet she's still crying on the front porch
He assumes that his ex is still emotionally affected by their breakup and may not have moved on completely.

Yeah, this time it's gonna take some time to heal
He acknowledges that healing from the pain of the breakup will not happen immediately and will require time and effort.

'Cause I'm on my way to Tennessee
He is driving to a different state, physically distancing himself from his past and the memories associated with it.

Singing Georgia On my mind
He is singing a song about another state, indicating his desire to move on and focus on other things rather than his past relationship.

Chasing what they says a dream
He is pursuing a dream, possibly a career in music, which may require him to relocate and leave his past behind.

Thinking maybe it ain't mine
He wonders if his dream is really what he wants or if it's just a way for him to escape his past.

'Cause that girl's in every song I sing
His past relationship and memories of his ex are present in his songs, despite his efforts to move on and focus on other things.

She's in every song I write
His ex's memory is constantly on his mind, serving as a source of inspiration for his music despite their breakup.

And six string ridin' in her seat
He refers to his guitar as a substitute for his ex, occupying the same seat in his car where she once sat.

Won't keep me warm tonight
Despite his attachment to his guitar and music, they are not enough to fill the void left by his ex.

God what am I suppose to do
He feels lost and unsure of what direction he should take in his life without his ex.

There's more than miles in my rear view
He realizes that although he may be physically distancing himself from his past, his emotional ties to his ex and memories of their relationship still linger.

Well, I'm headed north to what I swore I wanted
He is pursuing what he believed to be his dream, despite the emotional toll it may have on him.

And trying not to buy into my doubts
He is doing his best not to let his doubts and fears about his past relationship and his future career path consume him.

But I just cant seem to keep myself from wondering
Despite his attempts to focus on his present and future, his thoughts often stray towards his past and what could have been.

Why I'm jealous of all them headlights headed south
He envies those who are heading south, possibly towards his past and his ex, wishing he could turn back time and fix things.

Yeah, more than miles
He realizes that physical distance alone cannot heal the emotional wounds and memories he has with his ex.

Yeah, I've been changing lanes without my mirrors
He is making impulsive decisions without carefully considering the consequences, possibly due to his emotions and attachment to his past.

'Cause every time I look behind me I see her
Despite his efforts to move on, his ex's memory is still very much present and is affecting his thoughts and actions.

I think I just realized how much I need her (damn)
He comes to the realization that he still deeply cares for his ex and regrets letting her go.

So I'm turning back to Georgia
He decides to physically turn back towards his past and his ex, acknowledging his desire to reconnect with her and possibly fix things between them.

Stopping short of Tennessee
He is no longer pursuing his dream or heading towards a future that does not include his ex, opting instead to focus on fixing their relationship.

I can't put my dreams before her
He recognizes that his dream and career aspirations are not as important as his relationship with his ex and her wellbeing.

Man I need her here with me
He acknowledges his love and need for his ex, wanting to be with her and make things right.

That six string ridin' in her seat
He no longer needs his guitar to serve as a substitute for his ex, as he is now focused on fixing their relationship and moving forward together.

Can sleep in back tonight
His guitar is no longer occupying the same seat where his ex once sat, as she is now back in his life and their relationship is on the path towards healing.

Now I know what I'm suppose to do, yeah
He has come to the realization that he needs to prioritize his relationship with his ex and work towards fixing things between them.

There's still more than miles in my rear view
Despite their reconciliation and his choice to prioritize their relationship, the memories of their past and the pain caused by their breakup still linger.

More than miles, yeah
He concludes that regardless of the physical distance between him and his past, the emotional ties and memories still hold a strong grip on his thoughts and actions.
