Room to Roam

[Intro] [Verse 1] Hit the road before the sun came up Dust on my boots, guitar in my truck A few loose coins, a song in my head A hand-drawn map saying “follow instead” The wind was whispering old-time tales Of simple folks and worn-out trails Every wooden fence along the way Said life don’t rush, just learn to stay [Verse 2] Crossed a river humming soft and low Harmonica crying, steady and slow An old man waved from his porch out front Like he knew where I’d go and where I’m from The world feels big but fits just right When fear lets go and the song ignites I learned from gravel, bends and scars That falling down still shapes the heart [Chorus] Oh road, keep carrying me on If I get lost, sing me home I’ve been searching all my life For a place I don’t outgrow Sometimes home is just moving on Yeah, now I finally know The soul needs space, the heart needs truth I just need room to roam [Verse 3] Night turns fire into truth out loud Stars lean in like a quiet crowd Old promises dance in the flame Laughter rises, no one complains The banjo laughs, the fiddle replies Moon plays hide and seek in the sky In silence filled with sound and grace I find who I was, who I am, who I’ll face [Bridge] If tomorrow I don’t know my name Let the music lead the way Not every treasure shines like gold Some are roads you’re brave to hold [Chorus] Oh road, keep carrying me on If I get lost, sing me home I’ve been searching all my life For a place I don’t outgrow Sometimes home is just moving on Yeah, now I finally know The soul needs space, the heart needs truth I just need room to roam [Outro] When morning breaks in a brand-new town I’ll smile knowing I didn’t back down If they ask me who I became I’ll say I listened to the road’s refrain Life gets simple when you choose A good story and a road to lose No chains, no throne, no borrowed tone Just open skies and room to roam [Outro]
