The Road Back Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Late September, twenty-twelve A quiet night, a coffee shelf Two broken hearts just passing through Talking dreams of motors and the open view You spoke of races, miles, and rain And something softened all the pain [Chorus] On the road back home that night A whisper said, "He's the one, hold tight" It will get better, love of my life Through every storm, through every strife You're my answer, my guiding light My forever, my Friday night [Verse 2] A man who fixes everything that breaks From engine parts to small mistakes Sudoku puzzles, steady hands A heart that always understands You served your country, strong and true A son, a brother, proud and blue [Chorus] On the road back home that night A whisper said, "He's the one, hold tight" It will get better, love of my life Through every storm, through every strife You're my answer, my guiding light My forever, my Friday night [Bridge] Rob, you're the father Evy adores The quiet strength behind our doors Sixty years of giving more [Verse 3] Now we cast our lines and ride Dirt bike trails and mountainsides Campfire skies, the stars above Every season filled with love Stay healthy, share that gentle grace The kindness only you can trace [Chorus] On the road back home that night A whisper said, "He's the one, hold tight" It will get better, love of my life Through every storm, through every strife Rob, you're my guiding light My forever, my Friday night [Outro] Happy birthday, Rob, my dear Grateful for another year
