Dusty boots on a lonesome trail
Moonlight paints the rusty rails
Whispers call from the pines so tall
But I can't seem to hear 'em at all
[Pre-Chorus]
The stars are bright but they don't know my name
The road don't care why I came
[Chorus]
Oh, the wind's whispering down nowhere roads
Carrying echoes of the love I outgrew
Every town's just a ghost I can't hold
Running away but my heart's getting cold
[Verse]
Rusted signs point to yesterday
Memories fade like the dying day
This old guitar hums a lonesome sound
For a man who's lost but don't wanna be found
[Pre-Chorus]
The highway sighs like it understands
Dust in my eyes, dirt on my hands
[Chorus]
Oh, the wind's whispering down nowhere roads
Carrying echoes of the love I outgrew
Every town's just a ghost I can't hold
Running away but my heart's getting cold
[Bridge]
Maybe someday when the rivers run still
I'll plant my feet on some faraway hill
But tonight the coyotes all know
This ain't the way home, just the path I roam
[Chorus]
Oh, the wind's whispering down nowhere roads
Carrying echoes of the love I outgrew
Every town's just a ghost I can't hold
Running away but my heart's getting cold
[Chorus]
Oh, the wind's whispering down nowhere roads
Carrying all the dreams that I left in the cold
If you're listening when the night turns to gold
I'm the shadow that never came home
