Golden Roads and Rusted Dreams

[Verse] Well, I woke up this mornin', with the sun risin' slow, Grabbed my old truck keys, it's time to hit the road, With the dusty wind behind me and an empty gas tank, Dreamin' of them golden bridges, over waters so frank. [Verse 2] Passed the rusty fences and the weathered old barns, Saw the ghost towns smilin’ from the Midwest farms, A highway straight as truth, with curves like a lie, Chasin’ shadows on the pavement, in that endless sky. [Chorus] Golden roads and rusted dreams, Crossin' bridges over life’s wild streams, Where the hard work ends and hope begins, In a truck that knows where the road ends. [Verse 3] Stopped at a diner, where the stories are old, Met a girl named Hannah, with a heart of gold, She spoke of dreams and bridges, we'd never seen, In a town where every sunset, was a rags-to-riches scene. [Chorus] Golden roads and rusted dreams, Crossin' bridges over life’s wild streams, Where the hard work ends and hope begins, In a truck that knows where the road ends. [Bridge] Sometimes we chase those golden arcs, thinking they are near, But the rust on the daydreams, turns old hopes to fear, So we keep on drivin’, till the daylight’s wore thin, Hoping one more bend in the road, will bring the light back in.
