Lyrics

I met a man by the highway, his thumb held to the sky
A backpack full of memories, and a twinkle in his eye
He said, "I've walked a thousand miles
Seen the world through rain and sun
Every step's a story, and my journey's just begun"
Oh, the travelers and the dreamers
The ones who roam the land
With calloused hands and weary feet
But a fire they understand
They carry tales of heartbreak
And dreams that never die
They're the keepers of the road
Beneath the endless sky
Oh, the hitchhikers and the wanderers
They've got stories to tell
Some are born from heaven
Some are born from hell
They've seen the best and worst of us
Yet they still believe
They're the soul of every highway
The magic we perceive
I picked up a girl near the desert
Her voice soft as the sand
She said, "I left my home behind
To find who I am"
She spoke of love that broke her
And dreams that led her astray
But her eyes still held the promise of a brighter day
Oh, the travelers and the seekers
They're the ones who dare to roam
With nothing but their courage
And the road to guide them home
They've felt the weight of loneliness
And the warmth of a stranger's hand
They're the poets of the pavement
The heart of every land
Oh, the hitchhikers and the wanderers
They've got stories to tell
Some are born from heaven
Some are born from hell
They've seen the best and worst of us
Yet they still believe
They're the soul of every highway
The magic we perceive
Some say they're lost
But I think they're found
They've walked the edges of the world
Where the answers can be found
They've felt the sting of judgment
And the warmth of a kind hello
They're the mirrors of our humanity
The stories we should know
Oh, the hitchhikers and the wanderers
They've got stories to tell
Some are born from heaven
Some are born from hell
They've seen the best and worst of us
Yet they still believe
They're the soul of every highway
The magic we perceive
So next time you see a traveler
With their thumb out on the road
Remember they're the keepers of a heavy
Precious load
Their lives are hard, their purpose clear
To remind us all to see
That every soul has a story
And every story's free
