[Verse 1]
Sun sets slow on a gravel road,
Dust kicks up where the wind has blowed.
The mailbox leans like it’s tired too,
No letters inside, just the same old view.
The crickets chirp, but it don’t feel right,
Another empty porch on another empty night.
[Chorus]
Lonely life, lonely trails,
Counting stars where the silence sails.
The miles roll on, the dreams get stale,
Lonely life, lonely trails.
[Verse 2]
The diner’s closed, but the neon hums,
A lonesome song for the wayward ones.
I pass the fields where the crops don’t grow,
Just broken fences and a radio.
The highway’s straight, but my heart’s a bend,
Every mile’s a friend, and every mile’s an end.
[Chorus]
Lonely life, lonely trails,
Counting stars where the silence sails.
The miles roll on, the dreams get stale,
Lonely life, lonely trails.
[Bridge]
I could head back home, but it ain’t no use,
The roots are there, but the soil’s too loose.
I chase the sun, but it slips away,
Another night, another day.
[Chorus]
Lonely life, lonely trails,
Counting stars where the silence sails.
The miles roll on, the dreams get stale,
Lonely life, lonely trails.
