Silent alarm cuts through the gray
Five AM before the break of day
Fumble for the keys beside the bed
Quiet footsteps where the shadows tread
Coffee steaming in a travel mug
Give the sleeping house a final hug
Dashboard glows with amber light
Leaving darkness for the morning bright
Rearview mirror shows the town asleep
Promises I made I intend to keep
Not running from the life I know
Just watching how the golden hours grow
Engine hums a steady gentle tune
Chasing down the fading silver moon
Windows down and worries left behind
Open highway frees the restless mind
Golden hour wind is in my hair
Breathing in the crisp and clean air
Carefree miles on this painted line
Windows down and worries left behind
No reckless speed just steady pace
Finding peace within this open space
White lines rhythm on the asphalt gray
Playlist singing what I cannot say
Thermos resting on the passenger seat
Summer warmth begins to fight the heat
Passing fields of green and rusted barns
Shaking off the city's heavy yarns
Check the gauges check the rising sun
This journey has only just begun
Hands at ten and two upon the wheel
Nothing artificial nothing unreal
Rearview mirror shows the miles recede
Planting freedom like a wildflower seed
Not escaping who I'm meant to be
Just expanding what my eyes can see
Tires sing against the waking road
Lightening the weight of every load
Windows down and worries left behind
Open highway frees the restless mind
Golden hour wind is in my hair
Breathing in the crisp and clean air
Carefree miles on this painted line
Windows down and worries left behind
No reckless speed just steady pace
Finding peace within this open space
Pull over where the overlook is wide
Watch the valley wake up side by side
Safety first but spirit running free
This is exactly where I need to be
Keys still warm coffee nearly gone
But the best part of the day is dawn
Respect the road and honor every sign
Let the simple moments realign
Windows down and worries left behind
Open highway frees the restless mind
Golden hour wind is in my hair
Breathing in the crisp and clean air
Carefree miles on this painted line
Windows down and worries left behind
No reckless speed just steady pace
Finding peace within this open space
