The Lonely Road No Destination

The Lonely Road Verse 1: Six miles of memories, stretching to the past Hot rods and laughter, how long did it last? Tires spinning stories, engines roaring loud Now I'm just asphalt, forgotten by the crowd Chorus: I'm the lonely road, leading nowhere Echoes of glory, hanging in the air Once I was someone, now I'm standing still I'm the lonely road, over the hill Verse 2: Farmers at the junction, turning 'round again Ghosts of the races, haunting now and then Old Man Jenkins left, took my purpose too Left me here wondering, what's a road to do? (Chorus) Interlude: (Instrumental break evoking the sound of distant engines) Verse 3: Nature's creeping closer, weeds break through my skin Deer walk without fear, where hot rods once had been Kids with longing eyes, dreaming of the past But times have changed now, nothing seems to last (Chorus) Verse 4: I'm a silent witness, to all that came before Community and spirit, don't live here anymore But deep inside my pavement, hope refuses to die Maybe someday someone, will give me one more try Bridge: From glory to silence, from raceway to ruin But every crack and pothole, has a story brewin' I may be forgotten, but I'm standing strong Waiting for the day, when I'll again belong (Chorus) Outro: I'm the lonely road, stretching to the sky I'm the lonely road, watching life go by I'm the lonely road, with tales to tell I'm the lonely road, if only you could hear me yell Final Interlude: (Soft fade-out with the sound of a single car passing, then silence)
