[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Westbound wheels on a coastal line,
Hot rod hums ‘neath the golden pine,
Banjo case rattlin’ in the backseat glow,
California’s callin’ where the salty winds blow.
Four strings tight and a heart full of fire,
Sun dips low, chasin’ that ocean choir,
Jam’s a-waitin’ where the waves c***h loud,
Strummin’ tides in a sunset crowd.
[Chorus]
Oh, banjo rider, rollin’ free,
Highway hymns and the deep blue sea,
Gold in the sky, strings in your hand,
Playin’ the soul of this sunburnt land.
[Verse 2]
Canyon curves meet the Pacific breeze,
Bonfire sparks dance with the redwood trees,
Fretboard flickers in the twilight haze,
Melodies rise through the palm-tree maze.
Pickup truck beds and a tambourine’s ring,
Foot-stomp echoes where the seagulls sing,
Dusty boots tap on the driftwood stage,
Banjos roar as the night turns the page.
[Bridge]
Ocean roars in a midnight key,
Strings and stars hum in harmony,
Waves keep time on the moonlit sand,
A lone coyote bows to the band.
[Chorus]
Oh, banjo rider, rollin’ free,
Highway hymns and the deep blue sea,
Gold in the sky, strings in your hand,
Playin’ the soul of this sunburnt land.
[Outro]
