Final Run

Lyrics

[INTRO] Well, the sun's settin’ low, casting shadows long, A trucker's heart beats with a family's song. Every mile, every road, he carried their dreams, Now he rides on the clouds, like a whisper in the streams. [VERSE 1] He spent years on the highway, chasin’ that pay, With a tattered map and a heart that wouldn’t sway. In that old rig, he found his way, Through storms and sunshine, every night, every day. [CHORUS] Just a father who loves, with every gear he’d shift, In the roar of the engine, he found his gift. Even with you gone, we hear you in the breeze, A memory that lingers, like the rustle of the leaves. [VERSE 2] Those diesel engines sang a lullaby sweet, As he closed his eyes, dreaming of home and the beat. The kids waiting by the porch, their faces aglow, Counting the days till his truck rolled back home. [CHORUS] Just a father who loves, with every gear he’d shift, In the roar of the engine, he found his gift. Even with you gone, we hear you in the breeze, A memory that lingers, like the rustle of the leaves. [BRIDGE] And though the road is long, we’ll carry you near, In every sunset glow, in every shed tear. Your laughter and your courage, they dance in our hearts, When we hear that old engine, it's where your love starts. [CHORUS] Just a father who loves, with every gear he’d shift, In the roar of the engine, he found his gift. Even with you gone, we hear you in the breeze, A memory that lingers, like the rustle of the leaves. [OUTRO] So we’ll gather ‘round the fire, share stories of you, Of the life that you lived, and the things that you’d do. In the rumble of the trucks rollin’ on down the lane, We’ll keep you alive, till we meet once again.
