Lyrics

The wheels hum low like a song in the dark
A whisper that fades where the highway bends
City lights blink like embers and sparks
The distance a link that a road never mends
Gas station, coffee, a map torn in two
The rambler rolls in the dust and the rain
The rear view reflects all the ghosts that I knew
But mile after mile they soften away
Do I chase the dawn or let it slide
Freedom's a mirage on the desert tide
If I press the gas, if I stretch the ride
Will the road take me home or just steal more time
Sedona's a vortex ringed by red rocks
Arcosanti reaches up to the sky
I tally the towns by the signs and their clocks
Each one a moment just passing me by
They say the road winds like a fading disguise
A question that lingers, a breath in the air
But I ride the wheels that don't lie
A road with no answer, just miles on the way
Do I chase the dawn or let it slide
Freedom's a mirage on the desert tide
If I press the gas, if I stretch the ride
Will the road take me home or just steal more time
I ride the highways, rewire my name
Rewrite the story the pavement has shown
The distance is real but I'll harness the flame
A traveler unchained and a heart of my own
Do I chase the dawn or let it slide
Freedom's a mirage on the desert tide
If I press the gas, if I stretch the ride
Will the road take me home or just steal more time
