Empty Road 歌詞

Slow fallin’ sundown o’er the western plains Headed for my hometown, my resources drained Caffeine-cocked eyes just won’t stay trained On the empty road Don’t quite know what i have left behind No clue what the future holds, what truth i’ll find I’m just lookin’ for some peace of mind Tryin’ to ease my load And the sky goes red to black As i stair down the window crack But it’s the first day of the rest of my life And i’m tired now, so goodnight Slowed-down snowfall o’er the mountain range Just the sound of my breathin’ and the crunch of the chains No one listenin’ no need to explain Just the empty road White summits beckon, heady sleep i lack 20 paces out the snow erases my tracks If i go further, i might not come back Layin’ down the load I let the sky go white to black As i stair down the window crack Feelin’ like the last dog in this wretched fight So tired, so goodnight Lookin’ back, it was no great surprise I walked around that town with cast-down eyes I held no wonder for these changin’ times Just thoughts of the empty road Quick risin’ sunup, so much work to be done Deep in my heart i fear the starter’s gun But it’s time to get back up on my feet and kick ‘em in to a run Time to shoulder the load And the sky shows a cautious blue And i pray my instincts guide me true No more shyin’ from big city lights No more tired goodnights.
