Verse 1]
Meat’s all trimmed, trailer’s sittin’ tight
Gonna catch some rest and pray the temps hold right
Sun’ll rise, and we’ll hit that lane
One more town where nobody knows my name
Big stage buzz or a no-name lot
One more chance to give it all I got
Gas up the rig, kiss my queen and my boy
This road steals time, but it still brings joy
⸻
[Chorus]
So I thank the Lord and I load my soul
With coffee and the road
In the rush of life, it’s the time I own
Between the grind and go
Every mile is a prayer I throw
To God, my brand, my kin back home
It’s the only calm I’ve ever known—
This quiet peace of coffee and the road
⸻
[Verse 2]
Some shows hit, some fall flat
Ribs too tight or a missed brisket fat
One day you’re crowned, next day you crawl
But we rise up steady when the trophies fall
We roll from MASH to wherever’s next
Chasin’ fire, not likes or checks
It ain’t about fame, it ain’t for show
It’s legacy fed slow and low
⸻
[Chorus]
So I thank the Lord and I load my soul
With coffee and the road
It’s sacrifice they’ll never know
But it’s the life I chose
I miss my wife, I miss my son
But this is the gift I run upon
God gave me fire, and this path I go
Fueled by grace… and coffee and the road
⸻
[Bridge]
Ain’t no easy miles, ain’t no stage too small
Every call I miss—I still feel ‘em all
But my name’s in smoke, and my word is gold
And my hands still burn for the stories told
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Yeah I thank the Lord and I lift my load
With coffee and the road
From town to town, it’s the truth I hold
Through highs and heavy lows
Every turn is a chance to prove
That love and fire still cut through
I’m never lost, I’m just gone too soon
With my quiet time…
My borrowed time…
My sacred time…
With coffee and the road
