Lyrics

Headlights glow like a tired prayer,
Midnight talkin’ to nobody there…

⸻

[Verse 1]
Song on the radio don’t know my name,
Just miles and miles, the same ol same!.
Every town feels almost right,
The welcome fades by the morning light.
Tried to love, but it’s like a joke,
Every promise turned into smoke.
Left my heart in a rearview glow,
Kept rollin’ on… didn’t know where to go.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
They ask where I’m headed tonight,
Just shrug my shoulders, and grip the wheel tight.

⸻

[Chorus – slow, heavy, emotional]
Somewhere down the road… that’s where I’ll be,
Chasin’ somethin’ that keeps chasin’ me.
No white fence, no roots at home,
Just diesel dreams and the great unknown.
I could never stayed, I don’t know why,
No kids to miss me when days go by.
The only place I ever felt whole—
Is somewhere down the road.

⸻

[Verse 2]
Empty seat where a love might’ve been,
Conversations held with only the wind.
Thought I’d seen forever in a woman’s eyes!
Forever ain’t suppose to be chasin skies!
Every mile’s is a quiet truth,
A man can run, but the road don’t move.
I wear my past like an old black coat,
Button up tight, still feelin’ broke.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus 2 – darker]
If I stop, the silence hits,
So I keep rollin’ on through it.

⸻

[Chorus – fuller, deeper]
Somewhere down the road… that’s where I’ll be,
Chasin’ somethin’ that keeps chasin’ me.
No white fence, no roots at home,
Just diesel dreams and the great unknown.
I could never stayed, I don’t know why,
No kids to miss me when days go by.
The only place I ever felt whole—
Is somewhere down the road.

⸻

[Bridge – blues breakdown, almost spoken]
I ain’t lost… just never been found,
Every answer’s west or southbound!
Some men pray, some men hope,
I can only just downshift and cope.
If there’s a place I fit in that I know!
It’s between the lines of the road!

⸻

[Final Chorus – emotional peak]
Somewhere down the road… that’s my home,
Not a house, not flesh and bone.
No goodbye, no hello,
Just taillights fade and the engine low.
If I die with my hands on the wheel,
That’s the only peace I’ll ever feel.
Yeah the only place I’ve ever known—
Is somewhere down the road.

⸻

[Outro – stripped back]
One load at a time…
Is where you’ll find!
Me, the wheel I hold,
Is,
Somewhere down the road.
