On the Road

You asked me, “What kept you from writing back?” — I was on the road But even rolling through the miles, Your name never left my mind You asked me, “What made you leave that job half-done?” — I was on the road But I kept that note in my coat Still waitin’ for the right words to come You asked me, “Did you forget the promises you made?” — I was on the road But the way our fingers laced that night Still walks with me down every road You asked me, “What about your mama’s words?” — I was on the road But I carry her in my back pocket In a photo that’s turned to soft gray gold This trail ain’t short, but it ain’t too long Twelve thousand clicks and a sky full of time Crossin’ oceans, missin’ days Still feels like a hundred years gone by You said I never moved, but my heart had gone Said silence can holler like a midnight train Said I don’t stop, but you don’t know How long I’ve stood still, just hopin’ you’d show You asked me, “What keeps your boots moving on?” — I’m on the road Alone, you get there fast But together, the road don’t feel so long A life with no trail is a life turned sour And days without meaning weigh down like hours I’m on the road Ain’t runnin’ away I’m on the road Headin’ home, all the way ——————————————— These lyrics are written and owned by Rachel’s Original (Rachel Liu).
