Driving to our future

Sunrise paints the windshield gold, another day unfurls Eighteen wheels and endless road, a lonely trucker's world Empty seat beside me, silence fills the air Miles tick by in endless streams, burdens I can't share Steel horizon stretches out, a promise and a pain Driving for a future bright, through sun and endless rain These hands that grip the wheel so tight, build a life they'll never see But love's the fuel that keeps me going, across this vast country Desert heat shimmers on the hood, radio plays a faded tune Faces blur in passing towns, a world I see alone beneath the moon Cities rise and fall like dreams, a million stories in my wake Longing for a fireside chat, a family's joyful ache Steel horizon stretches out, a promise and a pain Driving for a future bright, through sun and endless rain These hands that grip the wheel so tight, build a life they'll never see But love's the fuel that keeps me going, across this vast country This life ain't easy, miles weigh heavy on my soul But every mile I conquer brings us closer to our goal There'll be days I miss you all, the laughter and the tears But when I reach that final stop, these doubts will disappear Steel horizon stretches out, a promise and a pain Driving for a future bright, through sun and endless rain These hands that grip the wheel so tight, build a life they'll never see But love's the fuel that keeps me going, across this vast country
