Old Town Road

Every step takes me closer to nowhere
I trace the cracks in the ground I once knew
I can hear the laughter that died with the seasons
But the gates of my childhood won't open for me

I've carried the weight of the years on my back
Chasing the fire I'll never get back

Tears don't fall, I've burned them away
My heart turned stone on a long—lost day
Still I walk, though the night feels cold
On this endless road, I'll never go home

Empty houses, windows staring through me
Every light I see is fading fast
No one waits at the end of this journey
Just the silence that laughs at the past

The road keeps pulling, it never lets go
I walk with the ghosts of the life I once owned

Tears don't fall, I've burned them away
My heart turned stone on a long—lost day
Still I walk, though the night feels cold
On this endless road, I'll never go home

If I reach the end
Will I find my peace?
Or just another door
That won't open for me?

Still I keep walking still I keep walking

Tears don't fall, I've burned them away
My heart turned stone on a long—lost day
Still I walk, though the night feels cold
On this endless road, I'll never go home

The road is long
But it never turns back
I walk alone
Till the night goes black
