Lyrics

[INTRO]
Oh, the wheels are turning, the miles are flying,
My girl’s on the road, I can’t help but start sighing.
From Rhode Island to Seattle, oh what a ride,
A father’s love travels right along by her side.

[VERSE 1]
She called from Massachusetts, just past the first light,
“Dad, I’m feeling good, everything’s alright!”
Heart racing, I told her, “Drive safe, my dear,”
Every mile brings adventure, but I still hold my fear.

[CHORUS]
Oh, the phone keeps ringing, hear that sweet sound,
State by state, she’s covering ground.
Each call like a heartbeat, a moment to share,
My daughter’s out there, I’ll always be there.

[VERSE 2]
Connecticut, she waved to the stars so bright,
“Dad, I’m stopping for coffee, the mood feels just right.”
I laughed and I teased her, “Grab me a slice!”
She promised she’d try, always thinking so nice.

[CHORUS]
Oh, the phone keeps ringing, hear that sweet sound,
State by state, she’s covering ground.
Each call like a heartbeat, a moment to share,
My daughter’s out there, I’ll always be there.

[BRIDGE]
In New York, she got lost in the dizzying maze,
But she found her way through, made me proud in her ways.
Ohio, she says, “Dad, there’s nothing but grain!”
But she’s laughing and singing, and I’m feeling the same.

[VERSE 3]
Through the plains of Indiana, she tells me her dreams,
“Finding a new home, Dad, nothing’s as it seems.”
In Chicago, she stops, the city lights glow,
“Just thought I’d call you, let my excitement show.”

[CHORUS]
Oh, the phone keeps ringing, hear that sweet sound,
State by state, she’s covering ground.
Each call like a heartbeat, a moment to share,
My daughter’s out there, I’ll always be there.

[VERSE 4]
Into the heartland, she drives through the night,
“Dad, I’ll see the mountains, it’ll be quite a sight!”
Her laughter it dances like the wind in the pines,
With each
