On the Road

V5.5

[Verse 1] I never drive behind Those trucks with giant logs Or steel that sways from side to side. I've seen way too many movies... And Final Destination Still lives rent-free Inside my mind. Then last night... A bolt smashed into my windshield. "What the fff..." A few seconds later That SUV lost a wheel. Please... Don't hit me... Somehow... We all made it home. [Pre-Chorus] Every mile teaches me something... Some are funny... Some are brutal. [Chorus] On the road... Life never asks permission. One minute you're singing loud... The next... You're holding your breath. Every highway Carries somebody's story. Some arrive. Some don't. And tomorrow... The road calls again. [Verse 2] Five in the morning. Highway closed. Detour. Why? Just one quick glance... A lone white table... In the middle of the lanes. Later I learned... A father... And his little boy... Never made it home. ... [Silence.] [Verse 3] But roads also give. Dream cars. Vintage classics. Graffiti-covered cars. Songs I'd never even heard before. Blasting through my speakers, Like my little car Had become A concert hall. Twice... I ignored police officers... Hey... I still don’t think it was my fault. [Bridge] The funniest day? Getting lost On the Champs-Élysées. Speaking broken English With confused Germans... Trying to find My way back. [Break] The hardest drives... ... Were the two That led me To bury my parents. Six hours. Tears. Way too many cigarettes. Just me... And the road. [Final Chorus] My car knows everything. My playlists. My secrets. My shelter. She's my best friend. I've laughed... I've cried... I've screamed... I've written songs... Even "Sans bruit" Was born... Right there... On the highway. Yet... I keep driving. [Engine starts...] Ready? [A few seconds of road noise...] Where are we going next?
