The Road Song
Journey of the Soul: Revelations on the Open Road
Lyrics
Driving late tonight and I'm thinking
Contemplating while driving late at night
What brought me to this place so far
Reflecting on the journey that led to a distant place
I sing for people eating and drinking
Singing for people who support her with contributions in a jar
They put their money in my jar
Acknowledging financial support from the audience
Life gets lonely on the road
Expressing the loneliness experienced while traveling
From town to town around my world
Describing the constant movement from town to town globally
And when they've killed the lights
Referring to the end of a performance or event
I'm finally heading home tonight
Anticipating the return home after the lights go out
My heart is free and I see my soul
Feeling liberated and connected with her inner self
Out on the road
Freedom and self-discovery found on the road
I had no choice the music chose me
Emphasizing that music was not a choice but a calling
And once it did no going back
Commitment to the musical path with no turning back
Yes there's many sacrifices
Acknowledging the numerous sacrifices made for music
But once again it's time to pack
Despite sacrifices, gearing up for the next journey
Heading out on down the road
Embarking on the road again
From town to town around my world
Continuing the journey from town to town
And when they've killed the lights
Referencing the end of another performance or event
I'm finally heading home tonight
Looking forward to returning home after the lights fade
My heart is free and I see my soul
Feeling liberated and connected with her inner self (repeated)
Life gets lonely on the road
Reiterating the loneliness experienced during travels
Miles and miles around my world
Highlighting the extensive journey around the world
And when they've killed the lights
Anticipating the return home after the lights go out (repeated)
I'm finally heading home tonight
Feeling liberated and connected with her inner self (repeated)
My heart is free and I see my soul
Reiterating the anticipation of returning home after performances
Out on the road
Freedom and self-discovery found on the road (repeated)
Life gets lonely on the road
Reiterating the loneliness experienced during travels
From town to town around my world
Continuing the journey from town to town
And when they've killed the lights
Referencing the end of another performance or event
I'm finally heading home tonight
Looking forward to returning home after the lights fade
My heart is free and I see my soul
Feeling liberated and connected with her inner self (repeated)
I found myself out on the road
Discovering oneself during the journey
And now it's time to find my love
Deciding it's time to find love after self-discovery
And when they've killed the lights
Referencing the end of another performance or event
I'm finally headed home tonight
Anticipating the return home after the lights go out
My heart is free and I see my love
Feeling liberated and seeing love after self-discovery
Here on the road...
Expressing the ongoing journey and discovery on the road
