From the recording On the way to Chicago

Lyrics

[Intro]
Rolling wheels and a restless soul, my heart beats like a drum
Got my boots on the ground, nowhere to run

[Verse 1]
{Bluesy riff}[Bittersweet Vocal]
Got a suitcase full of stories, and they weigh me down
Each mile I’m leaving behind, a piece of me in this town
Destiny calls me louder, with every truck I chase
I can hear the blues in the wind, it’s my saving grace

[Chorus]
On the way to Chicago, where the music finds its way
The night dances with my shadows, and the blues moves me to stay
On the way to Chicago, gonna find my way back home
Where the rhythm meets the city, I’ve never felt so alone

[Verse 2]
Whispers of the highway echo through my bones
I met a girl named Mary, but she’s long since gone
With her laughter like a melody I can’t forget
I’ll keep chasing that feeling ’til I feel no regret

[Chorus]
On the way to Chicago, where the music finds its way
The night dances with my shadows, and the blues moves me to stay
On the way to Chicago, gonna find my way back home
Where the rhythm meets the city, I’ve never felt so alone

[Bridge]
Oh, the wind whispers secrets, and the stars start to shine
I keep pushing forward, hoping this heart of mine
Finds solace in the rhythm, in the streets so wide
But the ghosts of my past keep me tied

[Verse 3]
Engine roars like thunder, it’s a battle cry
Every mile leads me closer to where dreams never die
Through the fog and the heartache, I can finally see
The blues leads me to freedom, it’s where I’m meant to be

[Chorus]
On the way to Chicago, where the music finds its way
The night dances with my shadows, and the blues moves me to stay
On the way to Chicago, gonna find my way back home
Where the rhythm meets the city, I’ve never felt so alone

[Outro]
Yeah, on the way to Chicago, this journey's just begun
I can hear the blues calling, and I'm ready to run
With each mile I'm finding my lost soul in the sound
On the way to Chicago, I'm no longer bound
