The Loneliest Road Ever Driven

Dusty Americana ballad with male vocals; slow swing groove and brushed drums, warm upright bass, and twangy electric guitar. Verses stay close and intimate, almost spoken, with a worn-out organ pad in the background. Chorus blossoms with stacked harmonies and a slight lift in tempo, ride cymbal opening up the sky. Bridge strips down to voice and guitar before the full band swells in for a final, resigned chorus.
