Old Roads, New Stories Lyrics

There's dust on the road like the years on my skin

Tracing the path where it all did begin

The trees are still leaning the fields look the same

But it's me who's different carrying new names

Old roads new stories ghosts I've outgrown

The places I wandered now places I've known

I walk through the past and I hear it say

You've changed but it's okay

The diner's still standing with its neon glow

Where I sketched out dreams on napkins long ago

Saw my old reflection in a window tonight

A stranger's face looking back in the light

Old roads new stories shadows and signs

Pieces of me in these worn county lines

The laughter and tears they echo and sway

I've changed but it's okay

Every mile I left behind every turn I took

I carried them with me like pages in a book

But the chapters turn and the story goes

Sometimes you find yourself where no one knows

So here I am walking the same cracked streets

With years in my heart and dust on my feet

The roads haven't changed but I feel the weight

Of a life written on lines that never stayed straight

Old roads new stories ghosts I've outgrown

The places I wandered now places I've known

I walk through the past and I hear it say

You've changed but it's okay

And as the night falls on this small hometown

I see it clearer now than I did back then

Old roads keep calling with stories untold

I've changed but I'm home in the echoes they hold
