As we roll deeper into 2025, here's a lyric about knowing where we are in life, realizing where we've been, and embracing that reality.

My lyrics--Suno's music & vocals.

Over The Road

Rearview mirror grows larger as the windshield shrinks.

It’s a crazy life reality that’s simpler than you think.

As the odometer winds up and the speedometer slows down

There’s more road behind me than miles to the next town.

The cab of this truck’s become comfy as hell,

seat’s a bit worn, maybe some gasoline smell.

But we’re not burning oil, piston rings still hold tight

Though my headlights and hi-beams aren’t quite as bright.

Transmission’s not as smooth as when brand new,

But my hands, feet and gearshift still know what to do.

Just poetry in motion whether large load or small

over the road winter, spring, summer, and fall.

 

I don’t run both blinkers at the same time

but I no longer push beyond the red line.

They can call all they want about my warranty being expired.

There are good days left before this engine won’t fire.

 

Transmission’s not as smooth as when brand new,

But my hands, feet and gearshift still know what to do.

Just poetry in motion whether large load or small

over the road winter, spring, summer, and fall.
