Next Stop Home

[Verse 1]
Packed bag on my knee
Ticket tucked in my sleeve
Bus wheel humming low
Watch the mile markers go
Cold air on the glass
Small towns in a flash
I’m already gone
But I’m leaning on
[Pre-Chorus]
Train door shuts
Plane lights blink
I count stops
I barely think
One more turn
One more sign
I’m getting there
In real time
[Chorus]
On my way, on my way
(oh, on my way)
Feet don’t stay, feet don’t stay
(oh, they don’t stay)
Bus to train, train to plane
Right on through the rain
On my way, on my way
I’m getting there today
[Verse 2]
Conductor calls my stop
Suitcase wheels on rock
Airport floor, airport line
Gate signs reading mine
Maps fold in my hands
Still, I understand
Every wrong turn made
Brings me to this place
[Pre-Chorus]
Train door shuts
Plane lights blink
I count stops
I barely think
One more turn
One more sign
I’m getting there
In real time
[Chorus]
On my way, on my way
(oh, on my way)
Feet don’t stay, feet don’t stay
(oh, they don’t stay)
Bus to train, train to plane
Right on through the rain
On my way, on my way
I’m getting there today
[Bridge]
If I’m tired, let me be
I’ve got road dust on my jeans
Every delay, every bend
Only pushed me closer in
Call my name at the door
I’ve been hearing it before
Now I see it clear
I’m almost here
[Final Chorus]
On my way, on my way
(oh, on my way)
Feet don’t stay, feet don’t stay
(oh, they don’t stay)
Bus to train, train to plane
Right on through the rain
On my way, on my way
I’m getting there today
On my way, on my way
(Home is right ahead)

Pop rock with driving mid-tempo four-on-the-floor drums, palm-muted guitars in the verses, open chord lift in the chorus, and a tight bass pulse; verse rides bus seats and station التفاصيل, pre-chorus strips to snare, handclaps, and vocal stacks, chorus opens wide with shouted doubles on the hook. Add reversed swells into the chorus, a short guitar fill after line ends, and a final key change feel. Bright, punchy mix with close-mic lead and gang vocals on the anchor phrase., pop rock
