Lyrics
[Driving Synth Bass Intro]
The asphalt stretches through the hills,
under a vast lavender sky.
[Verse 1]
The dashboard lights a steady green,
the odometer counting miles ahead.
I left the heavy memories,
back in the valley that I fled.
The cool wind enters through the gap,
it carries scent of pine and stone.
I tap my fingers on the wheel,
at peace to be alone.
The highway signs are passing by,
no destination that I fear.
The horizon opens wide and broad,
the morning atmosphere.
[Pre-Chorus]
The engine purrs a steady hum,
the tires grip the winding crest.
My mind is clear of all regret,
my spirit calm at rest.
[Chorus]
The road ahead is calmer now.
The winding curves no longer make me sway,
driving toward the golden break of day.
No heavy anchor pulling down the sound,
the road ahead is calmer now.
[Verse 2]
A roadside diner brews the pot,
the neon sign of diner bright.
I pull the car into the lot,
and step into the morning light.
A slice of toasted rye and jam,
hot black coffee in a mug.
I smile at travelers passing through,
wrapped in a woollen rug.
[Chorus]
The road ahead is calmer now.
The winding curves no longer make me sway,
driving toward the golden break of day.
No heavy anchor pulling down the sound,
the road ahead is calmer now.
[Bridge]
Oh, the rearview mirror shows the dark,
retreating as the sun ascends.
A brand new highway starts right here,
where all the sorrow ends.
[Chorus]
The road ahead is calmer now.
The winding curves no longer make me sway,
driving toward the golden break of day.
No heavy anchor pulling down the sound,
the road ahead is calmer now.
[Cinematic Synth Driving Outro]
The dashboard lights a steady green...
The road ahead is calmer now.
[Fade Out]
[End]
