The Long Drive

Описание: Woke up one morning, ready to drive
Turned the key, felt the engine thrive.
First cough, first breath, first ride began
Zero to a hundred, gonna see this land.
High beams on, living my life, no plan,
Radio screaming every song feels alive.
Windows down, engine wound, ...wide-eyed,
Mile after mile, I was born to ride.

The highway’s long, a winding road, it’s wide
Starts in the dark, ends in the light
Pedal to the metal, chasing the sunrise
Every mile marker says I’m still alive
Yea, I’m still alive…

Climbed the grade till the mountains leaned in
Curves got tight, had to lean into the spin
Tunnels swallowed me, spit me back to the sun
Every billboard screaming, “You’re the one”
Playlist perfect, tank topped off with dreams
Changed lanes and went with the flow, soaked in sunbeams
Thought the road would keep rising, never come down
Thought forever was just another town

This highway’s long, a winding road, it’s wide
Starts in the dark, ends in the light
Pedal to the metal, chasing the sunrise
Every mile marker says I’m still alive
Yea, I’m still alive…

Then the grade went downhill, gravity took the wheel
Speed came easy, felt too good to be real
First amber glow, I laughed and let it ride
“Plenty miles left,” that was my pride
Golden hour poured like wind where I stood
World looked borrowed, expensive,... good
Till the engine stuttered, near the end of the line,
Lights flashing like a neon good-bye sign

This highway’s long, a winding road, it’s mine.
Starts with a spark, ends when it’s time
Coasted the last yards on momentum and grace,
Odometer froze, near the end of the race.
Pulled to the shoulder, the crickets sing low
Sunset bleeding out in colors vibrant flow
Laid on the warm hood, legs over the side
Smiled at the sky, closed my eyes.


Funny thing about this long drive, we're all going somewhere,
All roads lead to the same place, ....thru the air.
Till the tank runs empty, till the motor sighs
Till the road says “Enough,” and you close your eyes.

It's a beautiful ride.
Safe travel, friends…
Safe travels forever where it all begins and ends.
When one roadtrip ends, another begins.
Buckle up and enjoy the ride, my friends!
