Track 5:Overdrive

Track 5:overdrive

(Chorus)
This long lonely road, it's a test of my soul
Payin' tolls for my mistakes, losin' all of my control
Just the white lines passin' by, and the stars that burn so cold
A story with no author, a mystery untold
This long lonely road, it's a hell and a home
A crown of quiet thorns, a king without a throne
A palace ain't a home, if you're standin' all alone
So I keep my feet to the pedal, headed for the unknown.

(Verse 1:Slicky Ace)
The streetlights bleedin' yellow on the cracked asphalt
Just my engine rumblin', a solitary assault
Miles and miles of nothing, a monochrome blur
Another exit sign, a question I can't stir
See, the radio's been quiet, just the static and the hum
'Cause all the stories I was listenin' to have come undone
The rearview's filled with ghosts and the rearview's full of pain
Wavin' goodbye to sunshine, ridin' out the heavy rain
Every turn a silent promise, every straightaway a lie
Searchin' for a destination that I know I can't apply
To a map that's torn and faded, from a life that's been erased
Just the echoes of a future that I never got to taste.

(Chorus)
This long lonely road, it's a test of my soul
Payin' tolls for my mistakes, losin' all of my control
Just the white lines passin' by, and the stars that burn so cold
A story with no author, a mystery untold
This long lonely road, it's a hell and a home
A crown of quiet thorns, a king without a throne
A palace ain't a home, if you're standin' all alone
So I keep my feet to the pedal, headed for the unknown.

(Verse 2:Money Dawg)
Left the city lights behind, a blur in the rearview mirror
Chasin' a horizon that only gets clearer
Every heartbeat's a rhythm to the highway's steady groove
Can't rewind, can't fast-forward, can't make a different move
Got a full tank of ambition and an empty passenger seat
Another cup of coffee just to feel my own heartbeat
I'm personifying a shadow, watchin' it drive ahead
Tryna bury all the voices that echo in my head
Was it pride or was it courage? Was it righteous or a sin?
What it takes to get to closure, I don't know where to begin
So I let the road decide, let the asphalt take the lead
Plant a different kind of garden, from a self-destructive seed.

(Chorus)
This long lonely road, it's a test of my soul
Payin' tolls for my mistakes, losin' all of my control
Just the white lines passin' by, and the stars that burn so cold
A story with no author, a mystery untold
This long lonely road, it's a hell and a home
A crown of quiet thorns, a king without a throne
A palace ain't a home, if you're standin' all alone
So I keep my feet to the pedal, headed for the unknown.

(Money dawg)
Maybe the end of the road isn't a place
But a new beginning, a change in pace
Maybe the destination was never the prize
Just a reason to keep goin', with tired eyes
The sunrise on the windshield, a hopeful kind of gold
A new story to be written, for a new hand to hold

(Slicky Ace)
Yeah, the long lonely road...
But I ain't alone if I got my soul
Yeah, the long lonely road...
Until I find the home, until I find the home.
