Driving to our future

Sunrise paints the windshield gold, another day unfurls

Eighteen wheels and endless road, a lonely trucker's world

Empty seat beside me, silence fills the air

Miles tick by in endless streams, burdens I can't share

Steel horizon stretches out, a promise and a pain

Driving for a future bright, through sun and endless rain

These hands that grip the wheel so tight, build a life they'll never see

But love's the fuel that keeps me going, across this vast country

Desert heat shimmers on the hood, radio plays a faded tune

Faces blur in passing towns, a world I see alone beneath the moon
