[00:12.30]8 Mile Road - Rustic Melodies
[00:12.53]Eight mile road and a tank half full
[00:15.07]Sky stretched wide like a silent pool
[00:18.09]Dust kicks up where the tires roll
[00:21.26]Just me and a restless soul
[00:25.15]Left that town with no goodbyes
[00:28.14]Too much truth in those old lies
[00:33.66]Rearview mirror don't say a word
[00:36.93]But it shows me everything I heard
[00:42.64]Every mile puts space between
[00:48.00]The man I was and what I've seen
[00:52.46]Down that eight mile road I ride
[00:55.46]Leaving ghosts on either side
[00:58.35]Every turn feels like a choice
[01:00.85]Between the silence and the noise
[01:03.79]Ain't no map for where I'm bound
[01:06.68]Just a heartbeat and the sound
[01:09.42]Of tires humming through my doubt
[01:12.41]On that eight mile road out
[01:20.80]Sun burns low on a broken line
[01:23.49]Time don't stop but it slows your mind
[01:26.95]Every sign just fades away
[01:29.77]Like the things I couldn't say
[01:32.60]Radio plays some old regrets
[01:35.17]Songs I wish I could forget
[01:38.37]But the road don't let you lie
[01:40.81]It just lets you wonder why
[01:46.68]Wind rolls in like a voice I know
[01:50.85]Saying you reap what you sow
[01:56.75]Down that eight mile road I ride
[01:59.60]With my past I can't deny
[02:02.20]Every mile takes a piece of me
[02:05.42]Sets another part free
[02:07.95]No clear end and no clear start
[02:10.96]Just this weight inside my heart
[02:14.03]And the truth I can't outrun
[02:16.69]Underneath that setting sun
[02:26.58]Maybe somewhere down this line
[02:29.67]I'll make peace with what's mine
[02:35.13]Or maybe roads just never end
[02:40.99]They just bend and bend again
[02:45.38]Down that eight mile road I ride
[02:48.22]Not the same and deep inside
[02:51.22]Every scar and every doubt
[02:53.94]Built the man who's riding now
[02:56.63]No more running no more fear
[02:59.65]Just the truth that brought me here
[03:02.79]And the road that wore me down
[03:05.33]Turned me into who I am now
[03:13.85]Eight mile road fades into night
[03:16.39]Taillights glow in a fading light
[03:20.17]And somewhere past what I can see
[03:27.28]There's a place that waits for me
