With Every Mile

A Duet

Verse 1 (him):
Dirt roads hummin’, headlights glow,
You stole my heart in that summer snow.
Years fly by like that old truck’s wheel,
But darlin’, time just makes this feel more real.

Verse 2 (her):
City lights fade, you’re my steady ground,
In every scar, love’s rhythm found.
We wrote our highs, we wore the lows,
Now every chapter’s sweeter than the one before.

Pre-Chorus (Both):
Laugh lines, burned toast, storms we outran—
Yeah, forever’s written in the wrinkles of our hands.

Chorus (Both):
With every mile, the roots grow deeper,
Your hand in mine, the whole world cheaper.
From sparks to embers, slow and wild—
True love’s a harvest, piling high,
With every mile… Oh, every mile.

Verse 3 (her):
Mirror’s got stories, silver in our veins,
You’re still the fire in this steady rain.
We built this life, brick by brick,
Every crack’s a bridge to where we’re fixed.

Verse 4 (him):
Gray skies or blue, you’re my compass true,
Aged like whiskey, but baby, we’re brand new.
The kids, the dogs, the fights, the grace—
Still find my home in your brave, bright face.

Bridge (Harmonized):
When the road got narrow, we took it wide,
Turned “you and me” into “side by side.”
Seasons change, but the seed’s the same—
Forever’s just our first name.

Chorus (Both):
With every mile, the roots grow deeper,
Your hand in mine, the whole world cheaper.
From sparks to embers, slow and wild—
True love’s a harvest, piling high,
With every mile… Oh, every mile.

Outro (Both):
Let the stars fade, let the map unwind—
As long as you’re here, forever’s fine…
With every mile.
