[Verse]
The road unwinds like an old grey thread
Through fields of amber
The sun just bled
The barn roofs sag
The fences lean
Ghosts of a life I’ve barely seen
A hawk hangs still
The sky so wide
Out here
You can’t find a place to hide
[Chorus]
The long drive home
Where the shadows grow
Every mile's a memory
Every field I know
The long drive home
Where the rivers hum
Whispers of the boy I was
Calling me to come
[Verse 2]
The radio crackles
A hymn of dust
Wheels on gravel
The sound of trust
An old truck rusting by the cottonwood tree
A mirror of time staring back at me
Wind chimes faint on the porch I knew
The scent of hay and a sky so blue
[Prechorus]
I left that town
It didn’t leave me
A tether tied
I can’t quite see
[Chorus]
The long drive home
Where the shadows grow
Every mile's a memory
Every field I know
The long drive home
Where the rivers hum
Whispers of the boy I was
Calling me to come
[Bridge]
The gravel shifts
The tires sigh
Under a moon that knows no goodbye
The miles don’t end
They loop and weave
A map of moments I can’t retrieve
