Miles to Come Home

[Intro]
Miles between us, like the roads he drives
Waiting on the horizon, hope in my eyes
On the porch, watching the dust settle slow
Dad's coming home, and I’m ready to show

[Verse 1]
Daddy's rig roars like a thunderstorm
Crossing highways, never quite warm
Vacations in the rearview mirror
Count the days till he's back here

[Pre-Chorus]
Every mile he takes away from our side
He leaves a piece of his heart to abide
When he's home, it’s all about us, it’s true
Making up for the times he was blue

[Chorus]
Growin’ up with a hero on the road
Dreams of the day he'll unload
When the engine’s silent, and his wheels rest
He’s finally here, doing his best
Chasing the wind, but never forgets
The love that he’s got in his chest
He works so hard, just to bring us near
Daddy’s love, always crystal clear

[Verse 2]
Late-night stories, hand in mine
He’s tired but still tries to shine
Cooking up pancakes, pops in bed
Making memories ahead

[Pre-Chorus]
Every mile he takes away from our side
He leaves a piece of his heart to abide
When he's home, it’s all about us, it’s true
Making up for the times he was blue

[Chorus]
Growin’ up with a hero on the road
Dreams of the day he'll unload
When the engine’s silent, and his wheels rest
He’s finally here, doing his best
Chasing the wind, but never forgets
The love that he’s got in his chest
He works so hard, just to bring us near
Daddy’s love, always crystal clear

[Bridge]
Sometimes the road feels so long
But in my heart, I know he’s strong
Every goodbye, a promise to stay
And in his arms, I find my way

[Outro]
Now I see through the miles and noise
His love's the greatest gift, the real joy
Daddy’s home, and the world feels right
His love keeps shining bright

[End]
Miles between us push us near,
Dad’s love, forever clear.
