Empty Home

(Solo)


(Guitar bulb sliding)


[Intro]
Morning breaks, 5 am sharp, coffee on the stove, shoes hit the floor
Thoughts run wild in the dark, another trip, I'm on the road once more


(Guitar bulb sliding)


[Verse 1]
Crack of dawn, suitcase in hand, ain't seen my house in days 
Jacket cold, lonely land, chasing dreams and fears
Lost my town, lost my friends, their faces fade away
Still I wonder, where and when, will I see them someday?

[Pre-Chorus]
No one waits in that empty space, just memories and dust
Living life like a runaway, chasing something I can't trust

[Chorus]
’Cause I’ve been rollin’ these miles, through the night and the rain
Livin’ out of a bag, in a world that’s so vain
Singin’ them old country songs, just to keep me sane
Will I ever find a place where I belong again?


(Solo)


[Verse 2]
House once warm and full of life, now echoes in my mind
Two days and it springs to life, leave the past behind
Years slip like rain through my fingers, friends are scattered wide
Hope we meet in some good bar, raise a glass to goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
Leaving youth behind, chasing a paper worth less than dreams
Never knew what I’d find, in these midnight meats

[Chorus]
’Cause I’ve been rollin’ these miles, through the night and the rain
Livin’ out of a bag, in a world that’s so vain
Singin’ them old country songs, just to keep me sane
Will I ever find a place where I belong again?

[Bridge]
Maybe one day we’ll meet again, old friends and lost sons
Laugh about the days we spent, chasing what’s undone
In this life I’ve traveled wide, with a heavy heart and pride
Waiting for that day when I no longer have to hide

(Guitar bulb sliding)


[Outro]
Five am, coffee gone cold, suitcase closed tight
Hopes and stories left untold, till the morning light
Yeah, I’m just a drifter, in a town that’s grown cold
Waiting for a long-lost home, to find my soul
