about

Growing older, we reflect upon our younger years. I've traveled hundreds of thousands, if not millions of miles, and this song is simply put, a road song.

lyrics

No Longer On The Run

Fresh rain on pavement, now there’s a scent
you can never forget, you came and you went
The sun shines and blinds us, windows rolled down
Winding them curves runnin this road down

Miles behind us, many more to go
A long road in front as the hitchhikers know
Day turns to night, this car’s till movin
Radio on, as we start groovin

Lean on the tread, these tire’s they’re stealin
Years of our youth, when we were freewheelin
Careless and young, stuck to our guns
The road far behind us, no longer on the run...

With a tear in my eye, friends left behind
Families and memories can never unwind
The road has her call, in spite of it all
In search for adventure, spring summer and fall

Now the highway is my way, sunny skies ahead
Not looking for trouble, but experience instead
And that purple and red sunset, it never grows old
The story’s finally finished, but so often retold

Lean on the tread, these tire’s they’re stealin
Years of our youth, when we were freewheelin
Careless and young, stuck to our guns
The road far behind us, no longer on the run...

In those times of old, now nobody knows
Those days long gone, I guess history won
Now we lie silent, idle and tired, where
Once we ruled the road like young’ us all fired up


Lean on the tread, these tire’s they’re stealin
Years of our youth, when we were freewheelin
Careless and young, stuck to our guns
The road far behind us, no longer on the run...
