Country Roads

[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.
