Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] She don't know, I've been holding tight, Through the long and endless night. Money's slow but my heart's resolved, Dreaming of problems that I’ll solve. [Verse 2] Out on the highway, wearing thin, The same old battle, I can’t help but grin. Sending my earnings back to town, Praying someday I'll settle down. [Chorus] Country roads, take me home, Where my heart don’t feel alone. Tell the kids to stand up strong, Daddy’s here, won't be too long. [Verse 3] Truck stop coffee, the sun’s coming up, Counting change in an old tin cup. Every mile feels one too far, But love keeps pushing this worn-out car. [Bridge] I see their faces in my dreams, Their laughter cuts through diesel streams. Tiny hands and hopeful eyes, They’re the fire beneath these skies. [Chorus] Country roads, take me home, Where my heart don’t feel alone. Tell the kids to stand up strong, Daddy’s here, won't be too long.
