Polk County Line - words and music by Ryan Sheeler

VERSE 1
These are 500 square miles of the most lonesome roads around
There’s a thousand cars out there just tryin’ to settle down
Every time I drive here I can’t help but cry
It feels like I’m crossin’ an electric fence…it’ll burn when I try

CHORUS
Now I drive the roads on the Polk County line;
I wish you were still sittin’ on my lap
Passin’ time in each other’s eyes
like the rides we used to have.

What happens when the place you’re goin’
is the same place that you’ve been?
Does it matter what the road signs say
when your heart’s out of things to spend

VERSE 2
Summer just became a nightmare…I ain’t never be gonna be the same
The problem is you and both know it didn’t have to be this way
Did you know I could have turned back? My engine light came on
We didn’t have to meet that day; I should have turned around

CHORUS

VERSE 3
I grew up not far from here - Just up on 35
It’s funny the longer you live here the less you feel alive
These roads seem so familiar but I can’t always see
The map is different now there’s nothin’ where her love used to be
