spent 6 days trying to write a road song that wasn't just one more road song (maybe I still failed, but see my previous song to see totally giving up https://fawm.org/songs/324356)

woke up yesterday and got the clichés out of my system in the first verse, and then it all came together except one line. woke up this morning and added a smidge to the end of the third line of the verse, and the recalcitrant line amended itself nicely. tadaa.

I know every cliché about the road and how it's long and winding and all that and how we'll keep on going and we'll never reach the end and all those tired sayings still fall flat

it isn't just a thing, it's a life I miss it every minute, every day I wish that we could head into the sunset tonight I miss it more than these poor words can say

best thing through the windshield is a mountain best thing through the windows is this view best thing in the mirror is the road out behind best thing right beside me is you

no regrets for oh so many miles all the years we traveled you and I no regrets for things we might have missed while we were gone no regrets until the day I die

best thing through the windshield is a mountain best thing through the windows is this view best thing in the mirror is the road out behind best thing right beside me is you

worst day on the road together is better than a good day sitting still and someday we'll be out there burning miles one more time and winding up the face of one more hill

best thing through the windshield is a mountain best thing through the windows is this view best thing in the mirror is the road out behind best thing right beside me is you best thing right beside me is you best thing right beside me is you
