Life of a Man

Empty roads, diesel dreams, heavy load on my chest

Tires roll, solar roads, ain't no time for rest

Shoot, dang, truck rumbles, I'm feelin' the wear

Kids at home, smiles bright, make it worth the despair

All in hope, heavy load, in the house on my mind

Grind my bones, calloused hands, leavin' comfort behind

Shoot, dang, miles gone, but their joy keeps me strong

Sweatin' tears, long years, to keep the love life long

Shoot, dang, I'm faded, but their laughter's my fuel

Empty roads, burdens heavy, but I ain't no fool
