On the Road Alone

[Verse] On the road alone dust in my shoes Every mile’s a promise every step I lose Send my paycheck home leave my heart behind A college degree but no gold to find [Chorus] I’m not a billionaire not a millionaire I’m lucky if I make seventy grand out there Bills don’t wait dreams get delayed But I’m building a home with every dime I’ve paid [Verse 2] I know you’re sad I’m not by your side Lonely nights fall like rain you’ve cried But the hammer keeps swinging the clock won’t slow This is the only way to make it grow [Bridge] Brick by brick I’m stacking hope Every mile a tighter rope Dreams don’t come with a silver spoon But I’ll be back to you soon [Chorus] I’m not a billionaire not a millionaire I’m lucky if I make seventy grand out there Bills don’t wait dreams get delayed But I’m building a home with every dime I’ve paid [Outro] So keep the light on in the window pane One day I’ll walk through that door again On the road alone but my heart’s with you Every mile’s a promise every word is true
