[Intro, Gentle Guitar Picking]
Wheels hum soft on the old coast road
Sun dripping gold where the wildflowers grow
Windows down, salt in the air
Every mile, I’m almost there
[Verse 1]
Maple leaves wave from the roadside trees
Radio low, just the sound of the breeze
Passing by fields, chasing the light
My heart knows I’ll be home tonight
[Chorus, Warm Harmony]
I’m driving home to the bay
Where the sea sings and the boats sway
Where the hills roll like stories untold
And the sky burns orange, pink, and gold
I’ve been gone too long, but I’m on my way
I’m driving home to the bay
[Verse 2]
There’s a pier stretched into the blue
Fishermen smile like they always do
Kids in red boats laugh and row
And the tide moves soft and slow
[Pre-Chorus, Light Percussion]
And I feel the pull, like the moon on the tide
The closer I get, the more I come alive
[Chorus, Full Arrangement]
I’m driving home to the bay
Where the sea sings and the boats sway
Where the hills roll like stories untold
And the sky burns orange, pink, and gold
I’ve been gone too long, but I’m on my way
I’m driving home to the bay
[Bridge, Harmonic Surprise]
I see the town with its rooftops bright
Shimmering under fading light
I’m almost there, I can hear the waves
Calling me back to yesterday
[Chorus, Final with Backing Vocals]
I’m driving home to the bay
Where the sea sings and the boats sway
Where the hills roll like stories untold
And the sky burns orange, pink, and gold
I’ve been gone too long, but I’m on my way
I’m driving home to the bay
[Outro, Soft Fingerpicked Guitar]
Yeah, I’m home...
Back to the bay...
