On This Road
Daylight breaks, slipping through these dusty blinds
The sound of cars outside
Wakes the last dream in my mind
All I remember is that I dream in black and white
There’s long, cold highways
Dark starry nights
Everybody looks at me when I’m walking through this town
Wondering where I come from
And how they’re gonna take me down
If you look hard enough into their eyes looking at you
You can see miles of broken hearts
And dreams that never came true
And I’ve lost my way through another day
And I don’t know I got here
I need more than these dreams in my head
To take me away from here
On this road I can see farther than before
On this road something’s calling me, something more
Headlights cutting through a night full of silver stars
Going away from everything that I’ve known
If the sins of the fathers are the sins of the sons
I’d better get my ass moving before Father Horner comes
I’ve got an old guitar
I’ve got a decent song to sing
I’ve got my hopes and fears and to me that’s everything
I remember being a kid and my sister would say to me
“There’s so much more to this life,
If you’re lucky enough you’ll see”
Well each year passes and it feels like the one before
If lucky I be, it’s pushing me out this back porch door
I’m on my way to some brighter day
And I don’t know how to get there
But I’m pushing down this pedal to the ground
To take me away from here
On this road I can see farther than before
On this road something’s calling me, something more
Headlights cutting through a night full of silver stars
Going away from every thing that I’ve known
Tonight, the lights of this city
Look like paint spilled on a dark, dark canvas
Don’t know where I’m going to
Don’t know from where I’ve come
Could it be this dream is dreaming me?
On this road I can see farther than before
On this road something’s calling me, something more
Headlights cutting through a night full of silver stars
Going away from everything that I’ve known
