Long Road Home

Start

Verse 1

Dust on my boots from a thousand miles

Carried the weight of these hard-earned trials

Highway signs and faded lines

Whispers of freedom in troubled times

The morning sun breaks through the pines

As memories dance across my mind

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder what tomorrow brings

As the night falls on broken wings

Chorus

Time keeps rolling like a river

And the shadows grow so long

Every step I take gets me closer

To where I might belong

Post-Chorus

Oh, the road, the road, the long road

Oh, the road, the long road home[Chorus]

Time keeps rolling like a river

And the shadows grow so long

Every step I take gets me closer

To where I might belong

Post-Chorus

Oh, the road, the road, the long road

Oh, the road, the long road home

Verse 2

Met a man down in New Orleans

Guitar case and weathered shoes

Said he lost his way to glory

But found himself in the blues

The rain came down like judgment

Washed away our yesterday

Now I'm standing at the crossroads

With nothing left to say

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder what tomorrow brings

As the night falls on broken wings

Chorus

Time keeps rolling like a river

And the shadows grow so long

Every step I take gets me closer

To where I might belong

Post-Chorus

Oh, the road, the road, the long road

Oh, the road, the long road home[Bridge]

Some folks pray for salvation

Others just for the pain to end

I've been searching for truth in the darkness

Where the highway meets the bend

With callused hands and a restless soul

I've played every note I know

But the melody keeps on changing

Wherever the wind might blow

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Small town lights in my rearview mirror

Another chance left behind

The weight of years on my shoulders

And regrets that haunt my mind

But there's freedom in the journey

When you've got nothing left to lose

Just my six-string companion

And these highway-walking blues

Chorus

Time keeps rolling like a river

And the shadows grow so long

Every step I take gets me closer

To where I might belong

Post-Chorus

Oh, the road, the road, the long road

Oh, the road, the long road home

Outro

And when my traveling days are over

When these weary wheels finally rest

I'll look back on all these miles

And know I gave my best

The road, the long road home

End
