[Verse 1]
Sun just breaking over those blue ridges
You swing your leg across that old black bike
Leather jacket, same one from our childhood
Still that grin, still that stubborn fight
Doctor said there’s a clock on the wall now
You just shrugged and asked for open sky
Said, “If I’m running out of sunsets
I’m gonna chase every single one I ride”
[Chorus]
So roll on, brother, roll on
Let the wind take the weight off your bones
We’ll be right behind you, all the way
Every mile, every curve, come what may
You got a heart of gold that time can’t break
Live your best remaining days
And we’ll be okay
Yeah, we’ll be okay
[Verse 2]
Mom keeps packing way too many blankets
Dad just nods and wipes his glasses clean
You reach back, squeeze my hand, say, “Don’t you worry
This ain’t the end, it’s just a different dream”
We stop and stare down in that wide green valley
You say, “I never knew it shined this bright”
Guess it takes a storm that hits you hard
To see the mercy in the light
[Chorus]
So roll on, brother, roll on
Let the wind take the weight off your bones
We’ll be right behind you, all the way
Every mile, every curve, come what may
You got a heart of gold that time can’t break
Live your best remaining days
And we’ll be okay
Yeah, we’ll be okay
[Bridge]
If the road gets dark
And the air turns cold
Just hear our voices
In your soul
“We love you, we love you”
That never fades
Not in this world
Or the next one you chase
[Chorus]
So roll on, brother, roll on
Let the wind take the weight off your bones
We’ll be right behind you, all the way
Every mile, every curve, come what may
You got a heart of gold that time can’t break
Live your best remaining days
We’ll see you again
On some far-off range
[Outro]
For now, just ride
And know
We’ll be okay
On this side of the road
