ECHOES ON THE ROAD
[Verse 1]
I’ve been runnin’ hard, chasin’ them lights
Raisin’ a glass in some neon night
Signed on the line, paid with my soul
The louder they cheered, the more I let go
[Verse 2]
The crowd got loud, the lights burned bright
But backstage felt colder than a winter night
I wore that smile, I played that part
While love slipped away, tearin’ apart
[Chorus]
Thinkin’ of you, callin’ it home
Glory don’t matter when you’re all alone
I couldn’t quit—fame had its hold
Blinded by dreams, while your heart turned cold
[Verse 3]
Sunrise came, but it just felt fake
Chasin’ a high I could never quite shake
The band was my blood, the road was my cage
Each ticket sold turned another page
[Verse 4]
Was I chasin’ shadows or holdin’ on tight?
Fightin’ for dreams while you faded from sight
[Bridge]
You called me once, said, “Don’t be late”
But I booked that flight and sealed our fate
I was up in the clouds when our baby slipped away
You needed a man—what you got was a stray
[Final Chorus / Outro]
Thinkin’ of you, callin’ it home
Glory don’t matter when you die alone
