Roadie

From the Songs & Stories album · Outlaw country · Road song

Demo recording

Produced with AI music tools, not performed by me or a band. The lyrics are mine, and a live version with real musicians is the next step.

A stool, a rail to set his feet, and a road that never asks his name. You don't need half the things you own, the best decisions never come with reservations, and the lighter you travel, the farther you roam. Freedom don't weigh much.


Lyrics

Verse 1

There's a stool and a rail
To set my feet
If they're pouring coffee
I'm already home
Morning comes easy
When the road don't ask your name
Same parade
Still marching

Chorus

Wonder what's around the bend
Miles and miles
Still got miles to go
Wonder what's around the bend
Wonder what's around the bend
Miles and miles
Still got miles to go
Wonder what's around the bend
Miles and miles
Still got miles to go

Verse 2

Here's what nobody tells you
You don't need half the things you own
Everybody's making plans
I'm busy missing trains on purpose
My best decisions
Never came with reservations
Tomorrow's waiting
'Round the bend

Chorus

Wonder what's around the bend
Miles and miles
Still got miles to go
Wonder what's around the bend
Wonder what's around the bend
Miles and miles
Still got miles to go

Verse 3

Ain't met a soul
Who wished they'd stayed home
Freedom don't weigh much
The lighter I got
The farther I'd roam

Final Chorus

Wonder what's around the bend
Miles and miles
Freedom don't weigh much
Still got miles to go
Wonder what's around the bend
Miles and miles
Freedom don't weigh much
Still got miles to go
Miles and miles
Still got miles to go
