Road Miles
(Verse 1 - Country Singing Truck Driver, deep baritone) Sunrise paints the Rockies gold, another load is tight and bold Eighteen wheels are hummin' low, where the blacktop wants to go Coffee's hot, the radio's on, singin' songs of where I've gone Miles meltin' in the rearview glass, another town will come to pass This rig and me, we understand, the callin' of this promised land. (Chorus - All three voices in harmony, with the hum of the road subtly present in the background) Road miles rollin', keepin' time, a rhythm in this life of mine We gotta keep on movin' free, trust the road will provide, you see Hope is in our hearts so deep, promises the highway keep Got a job to do, beneath the sun, 'til the long, hard day is done. (Verse 2 - Funky Smooth Soul Singing Area Development Manager, warm alto) Sunrise over fields of green, a different kind of travel scene Laptop open, calls on hold, story of a region to be told Small town charm and open space, buildin' dreams at my own pace This rental car, my temporary home, plantin' seeds where futures roam This heart believes, with every mile, a brighter tomorrow will beguile. (Bridge 1 - Bluegrass Jazzy Traveling Salesman, tenor with a slight twang and scatting) Strings are hummin' in my soul, another story to unfold Sample case and a winning smile, coverin' territory for a while A banjo riff inside my head, while deals are struck and words are said This open road, a jazzy tune, beneath the silver afternoon Gotta make that call, gotta seal that deal, the way this journey makes me feel. (Verse 3 - Country Singing Truck Driver) Pulled into a roadside stop, for a burger and a soda pop See a lady with a friendly gaze, and a fella in a travelin' haze Didn't know their stories then, just strangers passin' now and again But the road we travel, it's the same, whisperin' each and every name A silent nod, a knowing glance, another step in this highway dance. (Chorus - All three voices in harmony, with the hum of the road subtly present in the background) Road miles rollin', keepin' time, a rhythm in this life of mine We gotta keep on movin' free, trust the road will provide, you see Hope is in our hearts so deep, promises the highway keep Got a job to do, beneath the sun, 'til the long, hard day is done. (Verse 4 - Funky Smooth Soul Singing Area Development Manager) Colorado mountains standin' tall, heard a banjo in the diner's hall Shared a coffee, quick and brief, a truck driver with a strong relief A salesman talkin' 'bout his wares, a moment caught in mountain airs Different paths beneath the sky, but the same determination in our eye That open road, it calls to all, answerin' its steady thrall. (Bridge 2 - Bluegrass Jazzy Traveling Salesman) Pickin' out a little tune, beneath the Colorado moon Didn't know their names, didn't know their plight, just three souls bathed in diner light But the rhythm of the road we share, a silent language in the air Tomorrow's journey waits ahead, where different highways will be tread But for that moment, time stood still, bound by the miles, against our will... or maybe it was fate's own thrill.

Still trying to figure out multiple characters in one song, not perfect, but it was a good one
