Whispers of the Road

I left my home at dawn, the sky a pale blue gray, The whispers of the road called me to stray. With a suitcase full of memories and a heart that's known some pain, I chased the sun through fields of golden grain. Chorus: Oh, the miles they keep on rolling, like a river to the sea, Each town a different story, each face a mystery. With every step I'm learning, every mile I'm growing old, In the whispers of the road, I find my soul. Verse 2: Met a girl in Kansas City, her eyes a shade of green, She taught me how to laugh, she taught me how to dream. But love's a fleeting shadow, and dreams can drift away, Left her standing by the roadside, with nothing left to say. Chorus: Oh, the miles they keep on rolling, like a river to the sea, Each town a different story, each face a mystery. With every step I'm learning, every mile I'm growing old, In the whispers of the road, I find my soul. Bridge: There are lessons in the silence, in the spaces in between, In the echo of a memory, and the places we've all seen. It's the journey, not the ending, that shapes the man we are, And in the whispers of the road, I hear my heart. Verse 3: Now I'm older, slightly wiser, with the silver in my hair, I see the world much clearer, through the lens of wear and tear. Still, the road it calls my name, like a long-forgotten friend, I'll keep wandering 'til the end, until my journey's end. Chorus: Oh, the miles they keep on rolling, like a river to the sea, Each town a different story, each face a mystery. With every step I'm learning, every mile I'm growing old, In the whispers of the road, I find my soul. Outro: Yes, in the whispers of the road, I find my soul.
