Verse 1:
Backseat blankets, borrowed breeze,
Dust on the dash and midnight keys.
Streetlight sermons hum to me,
Home’s a word I’ve yet to see.
I’ve slept in shadows, fed on faith,
Chased my peace through empty space.
Every road a restless rhyme,
Every mile a borrowed time.
Chorus:
Got a duffle bag dream in the back of my car,
A promise packed beneath the scars.
Wheels keep whisperin’, “don’t look back,”
Home’s a heartbeat off the track.
I swore I’d stay when I found my ground,
But I still keep one life unbound.
Yeah, my duffle bag’s there, quiet and keen,
Holding all the places I’ve been.
Verse 2:
Concrete comfort, paper pride,
Rain on windows I can’t hide.
I’ve built my walls of worn-out clothes,
Learned that leaving’s all I know.
Keys keep clinking, ghosts still grin,
Every door feels strange again.
I make my bed where chance allows,
And pray this time I don’t bow out.
Chorus:
Got a duffle bag dream in the back of my car,
A promise packed beneath the scars.
Wheels keep whisperin’, “don’t look back,”
Home’s a heartbeat off the track.
I swore I’d stay when I found my ground,
But I still keep one life unbound.
Yeah, my duffle bag’s there, quiet and keen,
Holding all the places I’ve been.
Bridge:
Suitcase soul and silent scars,
Moonlight maps and passing cars.
Maybe peace ain’t a place at all,
Just the strength to stand when you fall.
Final Chorus:
Got a duffle bag dream in the back of my car,
A promise packed beneath the stars.
Wheels still whisper, “you’re almost home,”
But I’ve learned I’m fine alone.
If I ever stay, or if I roam,
That bag reminds me I’ve grown.
Yeah, my duffle bag’s there, faithful and lean,
Guardin’ every ghost I’ve been.
Outro:
So I keep that duffle bag clean and close,
For the man who swore he’d never be broke.
Home ain’t walls it’s the will to breathe,
And my duffle bag dreams still ride with me.
